| * installperl breaks running system (for a while)Spider Boardman1997-02-221-54/+54
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "installperl" causes scripts with "/usr/bin/perl" or equivalent to fail during the process of installation, which can take a while with slow disks and/or slow CPUs. It should install the libraries and such *before* linking "$installbin/perl" to the version-dependent executable. p5p-msgid: <199702241412.JAA11829@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
| * 'installperl -v' doesn't do enoughSpider Boardman1997-02-221-34/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "installperl -v" doesn't install enough for even "perl5.00328 -V" to work. It should install the version-dependent portions of the "lib" directory as well as the perl executable. p5p-msgid: <199702241342.IAA25945@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>

| * AmigaOS patches to 5.003_28Norbert Pueschel1997-02-2213-30/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here are some patches for AmigaOS, mainly to switch of unwanted tests. With these patches, perl 5.003_28 passes all tests under AmigaOS. You should check if there are other hint files that need the new dont_use_nlink variable added. p5p-msgid: <77724759@Armageddon.meb.uni-bonn.de>

The ->close is necessary, the IO::Pipe code is leaving two copies of the pipe in the child. It dup()s the pipe onto STDIN/STDOUT, but doesn't then close the pipe. Here's an fd scan of a child whose parent did ->reader: FD Type Mode UID Inode File System FS Type rdev 0 char special 0620 roderick 686 13054,42068 dg/ux 23, 8 1 FIFO special 0000 roderick 23 900, 0 dg/ux -- 2 char special 0620 roderick 686 13054,42068 dg/ux 23, 8 4 FIFO special 0000 roderick 23 900, 0 dg/ux -- fd 4 is original write side of the pipe (the read side was fd 3) which should have been closed by this point. p5p-msgid: <pzn2sv722y.fsf@eeyore.ibcinc.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Subject: Re: Perl 5.003_28 is available The hint file for ULTRIX is out of date with respect to the size of the Perl_yylex() function. I found this after enabling -O2, which works in recent versions of the compiler. Also, despite the inability of the standard dist unit to detect the fact, the ULTRIX dirent struct does too have a d_namelen field. Patch for that attached. Also, of course, as expected, ULTRIX still fails t/io/fs.t test #25, since [f]truncate can't be used to extend a file on that OS. All other tests are fine. p5p-msgid: <199702220951.EAA08156@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
