Behavioral change in Perl 5.30?by Llew_Llaw_Gyffes (Scribe) |

Llew_Llaw_Gyffes has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Brethren, I am experiencing a sudden behavioral change in a Perl/ncurses application. The application itself (icbm, an ICB client, which I maintain) was last updated on October 8; the terminal emulator it runs in (alacritty), on November 27. However, Perl was recently updated from v5.28.2 to v5.30.1. I am uncertain precisely when the behavioral change occurred, but it is definitely more recent than the alacritty update. What APPEARS to me to be happening is that something that I have not yet identified is now "helpfully" auto-translating mouse-wheel up/down events into Up/Down KEY events. This is causing the mousewheel to scroll through my input history instead of scrolling my terminal window, which is Bad because it means I no longer have a way to scroll the terminal in this application. Is anyone aware of any behavioral change in Perl 5.30 which would account for this?
