Red Hat Bug Fix Advisory: perl bug fix update

Notes

Topic
Updated perl packages that fix various bugs are now available.
Details
Perl is a high-level programming language with roots in C, sed, awk and shell scripting. This update addresses the following issues: - perl operation in UTF-8 enabled locales - handling an alarm signal while a waitpid() is in progress - the default length of an ioctl 3rd argument when no length bitfield is specified - some generated perl headers are not require-able by perl programs - fixes for tell() ftell(3) wrapper for files opened in append mode All users of perl are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.
