[editor's note - this list of differences was built manually, so is
either a little inaccurate or the most well preened out of the
"unapplied changes" lists so far. It certainly didn't get the usual
injection of message bodies.
The aim of these changes is to give you a vector for finding a list
message if you have an annotate operation hit this commit]

That doesn't look quite right to me. When provided a literal, you
should point at the actual literal (which normally has a global
lifetime), rather than making a mortal copy of it and pointing at
that. The mortal copy will be destroyed at the next statement
boundary, and you'll be left with a dangling pointer when you
unpack().
You're doing the very thing the XXX comment above was intended to
highlight.
I do agree that literals should be pack('p')-able. So, I'd suggest
the change be modified [...]

Yes, this behaviour is expected but it is definitely not documented

From: "Darren/Torin/Who Ever..." <torin@daft.com>

The INSTALL file says:
(cd pod && make html && mv *.html <www home dir>)
But the resulting *.html files have hyperlinks that look like this;
<A HREF="/pod/perlfaq.html">perlfaq</A>
The /pod/ part shouldn't be there. As a result, all of the hyperlinks are
invalid (unless, of course, you install the *.html files in /pod/).

Win32 uses something similar to the suggested method with
installhtml, and it seems to work reasonably well. I'll supply
a patch if I wander anywhere close to a UNIX box in the
next 24 hours, and someone else hasn't already done it. :-)

I don't understand how "make html" is intended to be used.
By default (without editing the Makefile) the resulting .html files
are useless -- they have broken cross-reference links.
If you set HTMLROOT=. in pod/Makefile, then cross-references
say .//pod/... which does not work either.
Setting HTMLROOT to an absolute path doesn't work either (the
spurrious /pod/ is always there).
What is the intent of the current setup (p54rc1)?

However, 5.004 changed the behavior of Syslog.pm in an icky way.
In 5.003, Syslog called Sys::Hostname to get the name of the
host, and happily used that as the logging host.
Now, Syslog calls Sys::Hostname to get the name of the host,
strips off all the domain info, and uses that as the host:
sub connect {
unless ($host) {
require Sys::Hostname;
my($host_uniq) = Sys::Hostname::hostname();
($host) = $host_uniq =~ /([\w\-]+)/;
}
....etc.....
Was this intentional? It screws up systems which use an FQDN as their
hostname and don't list the stripped-down version in their /etc/hosts
file, because inet_aton fails on the stripped-down name.
Was /([\w\-\.]+)/ what was meant?
