=encoding utf8 =head1 NAME perldelta - what is new for perl v5.41.12 =head1 DESCRIPTION This document describes differences between the 5.41.11 release and the 5.41.12 release. If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.41.10, first read L, which describes differences between 5.41.10 and 5.41.11. =head1 Configuration and Compilation This release contains one fix, which only affects the darwin architecture (macos), where F contained a syntax error that caused the installation to fail. =head2 Platform-Specific Notes =over 4 =item MacOS (Darwin) As in release 5.41.11, collation of strings using locales on MacOS 15 (Darwin 24) and up has been turned off due to a failed assertion in its libc. If earlier versions are also experiencing issues (such as failures in F), you can explicitly disable locale collation by adding the C<-DNO_LOCALE_COLLATE> option to your invokation of C<./Configure>, or to the C and C variables in F. =back =head1 Acknowledgements Perl 5.41.12 represents approximately 0 weeks of development since Perl 5.41.11 and contains approximately 770 lines of changes across 36 files from 1 authors.

Perl continues to flourish into its fourth decade thanks to a vibrant community of users and developers. The following people are known to have contributed the improvements that became Perl 5.41.12: Karen Etheridge. The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically generated from version control history. In particular, it does not include the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to the Perl bug tracker. Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for helping Perl to flourish. For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please see the F file in the Perl source distribution. =head1 Reporting Bugs If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the perl bug database at L. There may also be information at L, the Perl Home Page. If you believe you have an unreported bug, please open an issue at L. Be sure to trim your bug down to a tiny but sufficient test case. If the bug you are reporting has security implications which make it inappropriate to send to a public issue tracker, then see L for details of how to report the issue. =head1 Give Thanks If you wish to thank the Perl 5 Porters for the work we had done in Perl 5, you can do so by running the C program: perlthanks This will send an email to the Perl 5 Porters list with your show of thanks. =head1 SEE ALSO The F file for an explanation of how to view exhaustive details on what changed.
