Changes for 2.30 - 2024-04-25

• StreamFinder::Castbox - Refactor to scrape episode data from the podcast page as now Castbox episode pages are no longer scrapable (now dynamically generated by javascript), but for now, all required episode data is embedded in the corresponding podcast page (for now). Also now append "lyrics" (transcript) to the "description" field (for Fauxdacious, etc.) for Castbox pages that provide this in a "lyrics" (.lrc) link!
• StreamFinder::Google - REMOVED since Google has officially closed down it's podcast service.
• StreamFinder::Podchaser - Fix failure to fetch episode data for the first episode (when a podcast page given) and failure to fetch all due to minor changes in their site.
• StreamFinder::Spreaker - Refactor since Spreaker has now javascripted and cookied up their pages, but we're still able to scrape it's podcast pages for podcast metadata, required playlist data and 1st episode ID, and they provide a separate api site for fetching all episode data when given the episode-ID.
• StreamFinder::Subsplash - Fix extraction of the artist & album fields due to minor changes in their site. Also add missing "Url" (first stream) field (not required for fetching streams).

Hi! Asking for a wisdom here...

We have a module that modifies signal handler $SIG{__DIE__} to log information and to die afterwards. Hundreds of scripts relied on this module which worked fine in perl 5.10.1.

Recently we had the opportunity to install several Perl versions but unfortunately a large number of scripts that used to work with Perl 5.10.1 now behave differently:

• Failed in 5.14.4: /home/dev/perl-5.14.4/bin/perl -wc test.pl RECEIVED SIGNAL - S_IFFIFO is not a valid Fcntl macro at /home/dev/perl-5.14.4/lib/5.14.4/File/stat.pm line 41
• Worked without changes in 5.26.3: /home/dev/perl-5.26.3/bin/perl -wc test.pl test.pl syntax OK
• Worked without changes in 5.38.2: /home/dev/perl-5.38.2/bin/perl -wc test.pl test.pl syntax OK

Many of the scripts can only be updated to 5.14.4 due to the huge jumps between 5.10 and 3.58; But we are stuck on that failures.

Was there an internal Perl change in 5.14 which cause the failures but works on other recent versions without any update on the scripts?

Cheerio!

I understand that many disagree with this statement, but it really makes it easier to build distributions for people who not monks. Wish the documentation was more detailed
