This is my patch patch.1l for perl5.001.
To apply, change to your perl directory, run the command above, then apply with patch -p1 -N < thispatch. This patch fixes all the Configure & build problems for which I have a solution. After you apply this patch, I would recommend: make distclean # or at the very least rm config.sh sh Configure [whatever options you use] make depend make make test Patch and enjoy, Andy Dougherty doughera@lafcol.lafayette.edu Dept. of Physics Lafayette College, Easton PA 18042 Here are the file-by-file contents: Changes.Conf Updated a bit. Configure Now honors hints on <pwd.h>-related things (for CX/UX, in particular). Now honors previous values of d_stdio_ptr_lval and d_stdio_cnt_lval. DB test programs now conditionally include 'const'. MANIFEST Updated. config_H Updated. config_h.SH Include trailing /**/ on STDIO_..._LVALUE defines. hints/cxux.sh Simplified. Include info about failing test. hints/epix.sh A guess at a dynamic loading fix. hints/next_3.sh Add a few comments. lib/Benchmark.pm Ensure numeric context on number of loop iterations. op.c Spider's padlex and goto &$nonesuch patches. perl.c fputs("\tUnofficial patchlevel 1l.\n",stdout); pp_ctl.c pp_hot.c scope.c Spider's padlex and goto &$nonesuch patches.

+Upgrade Traps and Pitfalls:
+
+Since a lot has changed in the build process, you are probably best off
+starting with a fresh copy of the perl5.002 sources. In particular,
+your 5.000 or 5.001 config.sh will contain several variables that are no
+longer needed. Further, improvements in the Configure tests may mean
+that some of the answers will be different than they were in previous
+versions, and which answer to keep can be difficult to sort out.
+Therefore, you are probably better off ignoring your old config.sh, as
+in the following:
+
+ make distclean # (if you've built perl before)
+ sh Configure [whatever options you like]
+ make depend
+ make
+ make test
