rurban writes "cygwin perl has been updated to 5.10.0-5.Installable via http://cygwin.com/setup.exe Important Changes since the last perl-5.10.0-4:     — fixed serious Win32CORE issue with 5.10.0-4. This was         statically linked, but never initialized at run-time.     — fixed failing .dll linkage in ExtUtils::LibUtils::Kid.         Broke gtk2-perl     — softlink all /usr/bin longver scripts to versionless links     — added Term::ReadKey (lost with 5.10.0-4)     — based on 5.10.x patchlevel 34065. This was easier than         cherry picking the most important patches since the         official 5.10 release.perl-5.10.0 cygwin notes: — This release is binary incompatible with the old 5.8 releases,but compatible to all 5.10.x releases. That's why we named the mainperl DLL /bin/cygperl5_10.dll and not cygperl5_10_0.dll.

Accidental Angel writes "ActivePerl release 5.8.8.816 is out, bringing the popular Windows distribution of Perl to parity with last month's 5.8.8 source release. Good news all around for speed freaks, too: According to the release notes, the Mac OS X version is apparently a Universal Binary, and there's beta-level support for 64-bit Windows, Linux, and SPARC Solaris. So if you've got a shiny new Intel Mac or want x86_64/64-bit SPARC support, they've got you covered."

The Perl 5 developer team is pleased to announce the release of perl 5.9.3, the fourth development release of perl 5.9, incorporating developments towards the next major stable version of perl, perl 5.10.

Andy Lester writes "Perl 5 Porters have released a fix to the sprintf function that was recently discovered to have a buffer overflow in very specific cases. All Perl users should consider updating immediately. Dyad Security recently released a security advisory explaining how in certain cases, a carefully crafted format string passed to sprintf can cause a buffer overflow. This buffer overflow can then be used by an attacker to execute code on the machine. This was discovered in the context of a design problem with the Webmin administration package that allowed a malicious user to pass unchecked data into sprintf. A related fix for Sys::Syslog has already been released."
