The London Perl and Raku Workshop takes place on 26th Oct 2024. If your company depends on Perl, please consider sponsoring and/or attending.

Changes for version 2.11

  • Small bug fixes only
  • Removed the 'r' switch from the single use of the 'tr' function. This accidentally created a dependency on perl 5.14 which caused several CPAN testers to fail 2.10.
  • Added 'use 5.008' to main modules: everything should now work on perl 5.8 or better.
  • Added note about accuracy of OSTN02 in grid square HP (far north of Shetland) and changed the random round-trip tests to avoid this square. For reasons I do not understand, the accuracy of round trip conversion with this implementation of OSTN02 is within a few mm for most of the country, but suddenly drops to an average of about 25m in grid square HP.
  • Minor clean up of pod formatting in a couple of places
