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
+
+validate - run many filetest checks on a tree
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use File::CheckTree;
+
+ $warnings += validate( q{
+ /vmunix -e || die
+ /boot -e || die
+ /bin cd
+ csh -ex
+ csh !-ug
+ sh -ex
+ sh !-ug
+ /usr -d || warn "What happened to $file?\n"
+ });
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The validate() routine takes a single multiline string consisting of
+lines containing a filename plus a file test to try on it. (The
+file test may also be a "cd", causing subsequent relative filenames
+to be interpreted relative to that directory.) After the file test
+you may put C<|| die> to make it a fatal error if the file test fails.
+The default is C<|| warn>. The file test may optionally have a "!' prepended
+to test for the opposite condition. If you do a cd and then list some
+relative filenames, you may want to indent them slightly for readability.
+If you supply your own die() or warn() message, you can use $file to
+interpolate the filename.
+
+Filetests may be bunched: "-rwx" tests for all of C<-r>, C<-w>, and C<-x>.
+Only the first failed test of the bunch will produce a warning.
+
+The routine returns the number of warnings issued.
