dprofpp is used to display profile data generated using Devel::DProf.
See dprofpp.
The find2perl utility now uses the enhanced features of the File::Find module.
The -depth and -follow options are supported. Pod documentation is also included in the
script.
The h2xs tool can now work in conjunction with C::Scan (available
from CPAN) to automatically parse real-life header files. The -M, -a,
-k, and -o options are new.
perlcc now supports the C and Bytecode backends. By default, it generates
output from the simple C backend rather than the optimized C backend.
Support for non-Unix platforms has been improved.
perldoc has been reworked to avoid possible security holes. It will not by
default let itself be run as the superuser, but you may still use the -U switch to try
to make it drop privileges first.
Many bug fixes and enhancements were added to perl5db.pl, the Perl debugger. The
help documentation was rearranged. New commands include < ?, > ?,
and { ? to list out current actions, man docpage to run your
doc viewer on some perl docset, and support for quoted options. The help information was
rearranged, and should be viewable once again if you're using less as your pager. A
serious security hole was plugged--you should immediately remove all older versions of the
Perl debugger as installed in previous releases, all the way back to perl3, from your system
to avoid being bitten by this.
