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. :-) Larry
