[differences between cumulative patch application and perl5.004_01]perl-5.004_01
[editor's note: The changes between this and 5.004 were processed from the m1t2 release, which was a bad idea as it was the _01 release which had the final corrected attributions. The differences between the various m*t* releases do that; I considered it most valuable just to look at the _NN releases. Many patches have been separated out and/or applied from the p5p archives nonetheless.]
