Subject: String-Simrank breaks with bleadperl (5.21.1)
Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2014 14:20:18 +0100
To: bug-String-Simrank [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Dave Mitchell <davem [...] iabyn.com>
String-Simrank 0.79 is broken in recent perls, due to its interaction with the newly-activated copy-on-write (COW) mechanism. The C code makes the assumption that it can directly manipulate the PVX buffer of an SV, which is no longer a valid assumption. The attached patch fixes it -- I before E. Except when it isn't.
