+=head1 NAME
+
+perl5223delta - what is new for perl v5.22.3
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This document describes differences between the 5.22.2 release and the 5.22.3
+release.
+
+If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.22.1, first read
+L<perl5222delta>, which describes differences between 5.22.1 and 5.22.2.
+
+=head1 Security
+
+=head2 B<-Di> switch is now required for PerlIO debugging output
+
+Previously PerlIO debugging output would be sent to the file specified by the
+C<PERLIO_DEBUG> environment variable if perl wasn't running setuid and the
+B<-T> or B<-t> switches hadn't been parsed yet.
+
+If perl performed output at a point where it hadn't yet parsed its switches
+this could result in perl creating or overwriting the file named by
+C<PERLIO_DEBUG> even when the B<-T> switch had been supplied.
+
+Perl now requires the B<-Di> switch to produce PerlIO debugging output. By
+default this is written to C<stderr>, but can optionally be redirected to a
+file by setting the C<PERLIO_DEBUG> environment variable.
+
+If perl is running setuid or the B<-T> switch was supplied C<PERLIO_DEBUG> is
+ignored and the debugging output is sent to C<stderr> as for any other B<-D>
+switch.
+
+=head2 Core modules and tools no longer search F<"."> for optional modules
+
+The tools and many modules supplied in core no longer search the default
+current directory entry in L<C<@INC>|perlvar/@INC> for optional modules. For
+example, L<Storable> will remove the final F<"."> from C<@INC> before trying to
+load L<Log::Agent>.
+
+This prevents an attacker injecting an optional module into a process run by
+another user where the current directory is writable by the attacker, e.g. the
+F</tmp> directory.
+
+In most cases this removal should not cause problems, but difficulties were
+encountered with L<base>, which treats every module name supplied as optional.
+These difficulties have not yet been resolved, so for this release there are no
+changes to L<base>. We hope to have a fix for L<base> in Perl 5.22.4.
+
+To protect your own code from this attack, either remove the default F<".">
+entry from C<@INC> at the start of your script, so:
+
+ #!/usr/bin/perl
+ use strict;
+ ...
+
+becomes:
+
+ #!/usr/bin/perl
+ BEGIN { pop @INC if $INC[-1] eq '.' }
+ use strict;
+ ...
+
+or for modules, remove F<"."> from a localized C<@INC>, so:
+
+ my $can_foo = eval { require Foo; }
+
+becomes:
+
+ my $can_foo = eval {
+ local @INC = @INC;
+ pop @INC if $INC[-1] eq '.';
+ require Foo;
+ };
+
+=head1 Incompatible Changes
+
+Other than the security changes above there are no changes intentionally
+incompatible with Perl 5.22.2. If any exist, they are bugs, and we request
+that you submit a report. See L</Reporting Bugs> below.

+Perl 5.22.3 represents approximately 9 months of development since Perl 5.22.2
+and contains approximately 4,400 lines of changes across 240 files from 20
+authors.
+
+Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
+approximately 2,200 lines of changes to 170 .pm, .t, .c and .h files.
+
+Perl continues to flourish into its third decade thanks to a vibrant community
+of users and developers. The following people are known to have contributed
+the improvements that became Perl 5.22.3:
+
+Aaron Crane, Abigail, Alex Vandiver, Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chad Granum, Chris
+'BinGOs' Williams, Craig A. Berry, David Mitchell, Father Chrysostomos, James E
+Keenan, Jarkko Hietaniemi, Karen Etheridge, Karl Williamson, Matthew Horsfall,

+
+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

+=head1 Reporting Bugs
+
+If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles recently
+posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the Perl bug database at
+https://rt.perl.org/ . There may also be information at http://www.perl.org/ ,
+the Perl Home Page.
+
+If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the L<perlbug> program
+included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down to a tiny but
+sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the output of C<perl -V>,
+will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be analysed by the Perl porting team.
+
+If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it
+inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send it
+to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription
+unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who will be
+able to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help
+co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all
+platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for
+security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently distributed on
+CPAN.
