This is my patch patch.1g for perl5.001.
This patch only includes updates to the lib/ directory and the removal of the pod/modpods. The main things are the following: The modpods are now embedded in their corresponding .pm files. The Grand AutoLoader patch. Updates to lib/ExtUtils/xsubpp by Paul Marquess <pmarquess@bfsec.bt.co.uk>. Minor changes to a very few modules and pods. To apply, change to your perl directory, run the commands above, then apply with patch -p1 -N < thispatch. After you apply this patch, you should go on to apply patch.1h and patch.1i before reConfiguring and building.

+=head1 NAME
+
+getcwd - get pathname of current working directory
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ require Cwd;
+ $dir = Cwd::getcwd();
+
+ use Cwd;
+ $dir = getcwd();
+
+ use Cwd 'chdir';
+ chdir "/tmp";
+ print $ENV{'PWD'};
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The getcwd() function re-implements the getcwd(3) (or getwd(3)) functions
+in Perl. If you ask to override your chdir() built-in function, then your
+PWD environment variable will be kept up to date. (See
+L<perlsub/Overriding builtin functions>.)
+
+The fastgetcwd() function looks the same as getcwd(), but runs faster.
+It's also more dangerous because you might conceivably chdir() out of a
+directory that you can't chdir() back into.
