This is my patch patch.1n for perl5.001.perl-5.001n

To apply, change to your perl directory, run the command above, then
apply with
    patch -p1 -N  < thispatch.


This is a consolidation patch.  It contains many of the most commonly
applied or agreed-to patches that have been circulating since
patch.1m.

It also changes the 'unofficial patchlevel' in perl.c.

There are some problems (see items marked with '***').
I will attempt to address those in a patch.1o in a few days.

This patch contains the following packages:

    My Jumbo Configure patch vs. 1m, with subsequent patches 1, 2, and 3.
    Mainly, this provides easier use of local libraries, documents
    the installation process in a new INSTALL file, moves important
    questions towards the beginning, and improves detection of 
    signal names (mostly for Linux).

    xsubpp-1.922.

    Patches from Larry:

	eval "1" memory leak patch (as modified by GSAR to apply to 5.001m).

	NETaa14551 Infinite loop in formats,

	NETaa13729 scope.c patch (fixed problems on AIX and others) 

	NETaa14138 "substr() & s///"  (pp_hot.c)

    version of 09 Oct 1995.
    ***This needs some additional parentheses.***

    MakeMaker-5.00.  Supercedes  NETaa13540 (VMS MakeMaker patches).
    (Updates minimod.PL as well.)
    ***This has a couple of minor problems.
    pod2man is run even if it isn't available.
    LD_RUN_PATH gets set to some mysterious values.***

    NETaa14657 Paul Marquess	Net::Ping patch.  I've included
    Net-Ping-1.00.

    his socket.t test in t/lib/socket.t.

    c2ph-1.7.

    Dean's perlapi patches of Oct 12, 1995, which superceded those
    of Oct 8, 1995.  This is the one that did
