perl5.002beta3
[editor's note: no patch file was found for this release, so no
fine-grained changes]
I can't find the password for our ftp server, so I had to drop it into
ftp://ftp.sems.com/pub/incoming/perl5.002b3.tar.gz, which is a drop
directory you can't ls.
The current plan is that Andy is gonna whack on this a little more, and
then release a gamma in a few days when he's happy with it. So don't get
carried away. This is now *late* beta.
In other words, have less than the appropriate amount of fun. :-)

The syslog interface for perl also +# fails because it uses the broken socket interface. This problem was +# reported to SGI as bug #255347 and it can be fixed by installing +# patchSG0000596. The patch can be downloaded from Advantage OnLine (SGI's +# WWW server) or from the Support Advantage 9/95 Patch CDROM. Thanks to Tom +# Christiansen and others who provided assistance. |
