+OPENSTEP
+--------
+
+Support for OPENSTEP was added. Perl will build with as shared library. To build and install it, use this sequence:
+
+cd <wherever your perl source is>
+sh Configure -des
+DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`; export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
+make
+make test
+make install
+
+
+Depending on your shell, you might have to use 
+	
+	setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH `pwd`
+
+instead of
+	
+	DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`; export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
+
+Note:
+During compilation/linking there are going to be some warnings, they do not seem to have any ill effects.
+
+Perl is going to be installed below the path /usr/local/OPENSTEP. This is done so that binaries for NEXTSTEP (3.2, 3.3 etc) will not be overwritten, since the OPENSTEP binaries will not work on those systems. Below is a part of my .zshrc file, that makes sure that the new OPENSTEP binaries are used on OPENSTEP:
+
+##############################
+if(fgrep -s 'OPENSTEP 4.' /usr/lib/NextStep/software_version )
+then
+path=(. /etc /usr/etc ~/Unix/bin /usr/local/OPENSTEP/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/netpbm/bin /usr/ucb /bin /usr/bin /usr/sybase/bin ~/Apps /LocalApps /NextApps /NextAdmin /NextDeveloper/Demos)
+else
+path=(. /etc /usr/etc ~/Unix/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/netpbm/bin /usr/ucb /bin /usr/bin /usr/sybase/bin ~/Apps /LocalApps /NextApps /NextAdmin /NextDeveloper/Demos)
+fi
+##############################
+
+You can change the installation path by changing 'prefix' in hints/next_4.sh before you run Configure.

+
+
+NEXTSTEP
+--------
+
+The hints file for NEXTSTEP (hints/next_3.sh) was changed:
+
+- Support for MAB was added
+- perl's malloc is used now; this should take care of some problems with NEXTSTEP 3.2
+
+perl should build and install fine with this sequence:
+
+cd <wherever your perl source is>
+sh Configure -des
+make
+make test
+make install
+
