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.

package integer;
+=head1 NAME
+
+integer - Perl pragma to compute arithmetic in integer instead of double
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use integer;
+ $x = 10/3;
+ # $x is now 3, not 3.33333333333333333
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This tells the compiler that it's okay to use integer operations
+from here to the end of the enclosing BLOCK. On many machines,
+this doesn't matter a great deal for most computations, but on those
+without floating point hardware, it can make a big difference.
+
+See L<perlmod/Pragmatic Modules>.
