Podify the remaining README.platform files;
merge README.plan9 and plan9/perlplan9.pod; delete plan9/perlplan9.* (the perlplan.doc needs to be regenerated in Plan 9); make the =head1 and =head2 in the README.platform to be a little more verbose (skipped README.os2 not to anger Ilya) so that they look better in the toc; regen toc. p4raw-id: //depot/perl@10461

- These are a few notes describing features peculiar to Plan 9

- Perl is invoked from the command line as described in the
- _p_e_r_l manpage. Most perl scripts, however, do have a first
- line such as "#!/usr/local/bin/perl". This is known as a
- shebang (shell-bang) statement and tells the OS shell where
- to find the perl interpreter. In Plan 9 Perl this statement
- should be "#!/bin/perl" if you wish to be able to directly
- invoke the script by its name.
- Alternatively, you may invoke perl with the command
- "Perl" instead of "perl". This will produce Acme-friendly
- error messages of the form "filename:18".
-
- Some scripts, usually identified with a *.PL extension, are

-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-These are a few notes describing features peculiar to
-Plan 9 Perl. As such, it is not intended to be a replacement
-for the rest of the Perl 5 documentation (which is both

-=head2 Invoking Perl
-
-Perl is invoked from the command line as described in
-L<perl>. Most perl scripts, however, do have a first line
-such as "#!/usr/local/bin/perl". This is known as a shebang
-(shell-bang) statement and tells the OS shell where to find
-the perl interpreter. In Plan 9 Perl this statement should be
-"#!/bin/perl" if you wish to be able to directly invoke the
-script by its name.
- Alternatively, you may invoke perl with the command "Perl"
-instead of "perl". This will produce Acme-friendly error
-messages of the form "filename:18".
-
-Some scripts, usually identified with a *.PL extension, are
-self-configuring and are able to correctly create their own
-shebang path from config information located in Plan 9
-Perl. These you won't need to be worried about.
-
-=head2 What's in Plan 9 Perl
-
-Although Plan 9 Perl currently only provides static
-loading, it is built with a number of useful extensions.
-These include Opcode, FileHandle, Fcntl, and POSIX. Expect
-to see others (and DynaLoading!) in the future.
-
-=head2 What's not in Plan 9 Perl
-
-As mentioned previously, dynamic loading isn't currently
-available nor is MakeMaker. Both are high-priority items.
-
-=head2 Perl5 Functions not currently supported
-
-Some, such as C<chown> and C<umask> aren't provided
-because the concept does not exist within Plan 9. Others,
-such as some of the socket-related functions, simply
-haven't been written yet. Many in the latter category
-may be supported in the future.
-
-The functions not currently implemented include:
-
- chown, chroot, dbmclose, dbmopen, getsockopt,
- setsockopt, recvmsg, sendmsg, getnetbyname,
- getnetbyaddr, getnetent, getprotoent, getservent,
- sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent,
- endservent, endnetent, endprotoent, umask
-
-There may be several other functions that have undefined
-behavior so this list shouldn't be considered complete.
-
-=head2 Signals
-
-For compatibility with perl scripts written for the Unix
-environment, Plan 9 Perl uses the POSIX signal emulation
-provided in Plan 9's ANSI POSIX Environment (APE). Signal stacking
-isn't supported. The signals provided are:
-
- SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT, SIGILL, SIGABRT,
- SIGFPE, SIGKILL, SIGSEGV, SIGPIPE, SIGPIPE, SIGALRM,
