Fix CPAN compiler, runtime, and jcpan tooling blockers - #964
Merged
Conversation
Close subprocess stdin pipes, support escaped hash keys in interpolation, and harden MakeMaker script and AutoSplit staging. Add Java-backed Text::QRCode and Math::Cephes compatibility plus correct Compress::Zlib streaming context behavior. Generated with [Codex](https://openai.com/codex) Co-Authored-By: Codex <codex@openai.com>
Normalize native Windows separators before writing the Perl executable into POSIX-shell Makefile recipes. This prevents Bash from consuming backslashes as escapes when MakeMaker stages AutoLoader modules. Generated with [Codex](https://openai.com/codex) Co-Authored-By: Codex <codex@openai.com>
Replace deprecated decompressedSize calls in the imported Sereal decoders with getFrameContentSize. Reject unknown or invalid frame sizes before allocating decoder buffers, and remove the compile-time deprecation warnings. Generated with [Codex](https://openai.com/codex/) Co-Authored-By: Codex <codex@openai.com>
Restore YAML::PP object and scalar-reference serialization, route Object::Pad core syntax through native classes, preserve field context in method signatures, fix gzip EOF status for single-file CPAN distributions, and retry TAP-indented missing prerequisites. This unblocks Pegex::JSON, Music::Factory, App::Chained, and Queue without distribution preferences. Bio-MCPrimers and Catalyst Engine HTTP POE remain excluded because their distributions fail under system Perl.

Resolve file tests through the IO slot carried by a glob instead of its stringified name, and retain PVLV glob names in unopened-close warnings. Generated with [Codex](https://openai.com/codex/) Co-Authored-By: Codex <codex@openai.com>

Combine the CPAN compiler, subprocess, MakeMaker, native-module, Zstd, and filehandle fixes from PR #963 with the jcpan module tooling fixes in PR #964 so they can be tested and approved together.
