I suspect the change has to do with the perl code base, from perl5.002
(what 5.1.2 was based on) to perl5.004 (what 5.1.9 is based on).  I don't
have time, but you could check the Changes files that come with the main
perl distribution on CPAN.  Check Changes and Changes5.003.

Also, perldelta.pod is new to perl5.004, and documents changes in a more
verbose fashion, but does not cover 5.002->5.003, which may be where the
change occured.
