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).

+=head1 NAME
+
+Devel::DProf - a Perl code profiler
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ PERL5DB="use Devel::DProf;"
+ export PERL5DB
+
+ perl5 -d test.pl
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The Devel::DProf package is a Perl code profiler. This will collect
+information on the execution time of a Perl script and of the subs in that
+script. This information can be used to determine which subroutines are
+using the most time and which subroutines are being called most often. This
+information can also be used to create an execution graph of the script,
+showing subroutine relationships.
+
+To use this package the PERL5DB environment variable must be set to the
+following value:
+
+ PERL5DB="use Devel::DProf;"
+ export PERL5DB
+
+To profile a Perl script run the perl interpreter with the B<-d> debugging
+switch. The profiler uses the debugging hooks. So to profile script
+"test.pl" the following command should be used:
+
+ perl5 -d test.pl
+
+When the script terminates the profiler will dump the profile information
+to a file called I<tmon.out>. The supplied I<dprofpp> tool can be used to
+interpret the information which is in that profile. The following command
+will print the top 15 subroutines which used the most time:
+
+ dprofpp
+
+To print an execution graph of the subroutines in the script use the
+following command:
+
+ dprofpp -T
+
+Consult the "dprofpp" manpage for other options.
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+If perl5 is invoked with the B<-w> (warnings) flag then Devel::DProf will
+cause a large quantity of warnings to be printed.
