Providing an invalid version will result in a fatal error.</p> <p>These formats will be documented fully in the <a href="/5.12.1/version">version</a> module in a subsequent release of Perl 5.11. To a first approximation, a "strict" version number is a positive decimal number (integer or decimal-fraction) without exponentiation or else a dotted-decimal v-string with a leading 'v' character and at least three components. A "lax" version number allows v-strings with fewer than three components or without a leading 'v'. Under "lax" rules, both decimal and dotted-decimal versions may have a trailing "alpha" component separated by an underscore character after a fractional or dotted-decimal component.</p> <p>The <a href="/5.12.1/version">version</a> module adds <code>version::is_strict</code> and <code>version::is_lax</code> functions to check a scalar against these rules.</p> <h1 id="Core-Enhancements"><a class="permalink" href="#Core-Enhancements">#</a><a id="Core"></a>Core Enhancements</h1> <h2 id="Unicode-properties"><a class="permalink" href="#Unicode-properties">#</a><a id="Unicode"></a>Unicode properties</h2> <p><code>\p{XDigit}</code> now matches the same characters as <code>\p{Hex_Digit}</code>.

There may also be information at <a href="http://www.perl.org/">http://www.perl.org/</a>, the Perl Home Page.</p> <p>If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the <b>perlbug</b> program included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down to a tiny but sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the output of <code>perl -V</code>, will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be analyzed by the Perl porting team.</p> <p>If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send it to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who be able to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently distributed on CPAN.</p> <h1 id="SEE-ALSO"><a class="permalink" href="#SEE-ALSO">#</a><a id="SEE"></a>SEE ALSO</h1> <p>The <i>Changes</i> file for an explanation of how to view exhaustive details on what changed.</p> <p>The <i>INSTALL</i> file for how to build Perl.</p> <p>The <i>README</i> file for general stuff.</p> <p>The <i>Artistic</i> and <i>Copying</i> files for copyright information.</p> </div> <div id="footer"> <p>Perldoc Browser is maintained by Dan Book (<a href="https://metacpan.org/author/DBOOK">DBOOK</a>).
