This file documents the changes made to port Perl to the Stratus
VOS operating system.
+For 5.7:
+ Updated "build.cm" to build perl using either the alpha or GA
+ version of POSIX.
+ Updated "Changes".
+ Updated "compile_perl.cm" to use either the alpha or GA
+ version of POSIX.
+ Split "config.def" into config.alpha.def and config.ga.def;
+ one for each version. Use the configure_perl.cm macro
+ to select the appropriate version.
+ Split "config.h" into config.alpha.h and config.ga.h. Use the
+ configure_perl.cm macro to select the appropriate version.
+ Updated "config.pl". It now diagnoses undefined (missing) and
+ unused substitution variables. When a new version of
+ Perl comes out, run "configure_perl.cm", add any missing
+ definitions to config.*.def, and remove any unused
+ definitions.
+ Removed "config_h.SH_orig". It is no longer needed.
+ Added "configure_perl.cm". It is used to configure perl so that
+ it can be built with either version of VOS POSIX.1 support.
+ Added "install_perl.cm" to install Perl into the appropriate
+ system directories.
+ Updated "perl.bind" to work with either the alpha or GA
+ version of POSIX.
+ Updated "vosish.h" to just use the standard "unixish.h" since
+ there are no changes needed at this time.
+
After 5.005_63:
Supplied "config.pl" perl script that takes "config_h.SH_orig"
and "config.def" as input and produces "config.h.new".
