\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	[editor's note: this commit combines approximate 4 months of furious releases of Andy Dougherty and Larry Wall - see pod/perlhist.pod for details. Andy notes that; Alas neither my "Irwin AccuTrack" nor my DC 600A quarter-inch cartridge backup tapes from that era seem to be readable anymore. I guess 13 years exceeds the shelf life for that backup technology :-(. ]

	A few of the new features: (18 Oct) * Perl can now handle binary data correctly and has functions to pack and unpack binary structures into arrays or lists. You can now do arbitrary ioctl functions. * You can now pass things to subroutines by reference. * Debugger enhancements. * An array or associative array may now appear in a local() list. * Array values may now be interpolated into strings. * Subroutine names are now distinguished by prefixing with &. You can call subroutines without using do, and without passing any argument list at all. * You can use the new -u switch to cause perl to dump core so that you can run undump and produce a binary executable image. Alternately you can use the "dump" operator after initializing any variables and such. * You can now chop lists. * Perl now uses /bin/csh to do filename globbing, if available. This means that filenames with spaces or other strangenesses work right. * New functions: mkdir and rmdir, getppid, getpgrp and setpgrp, getpriority and setpriority, chroot, ioctl and fcntl, flock, readlink, lstat, rindex, pack and unpack, read, warn, dbmopen and dbmclose, dump, reverse, defined, undef.
