This is my patch patch.1d for perl5.001. A complete description is
given below, but here are the basic changes.
1. Linux: more tweaks so dynamic loading works under ELF
or (maybe) under dld. There are so many different dld versions
and so many different tool sets, it's hard to be more specific.
2. perl -e '$v=1e19+0' no longer dumps core on Intel x86
processors.
3. pod stuff:
a. Wrapped pod2* translators in a 'SH' wrapper so that they
have the proper path to perl at the top.
b. Fixed pod/ Makefile to call the pod2html translator
correctly. (Why do pod2man and pod2html work differently?)
c. Include latest (Feb 2, 1995) version of pod2html, fresh from
ftp.metronet.com.
4. MakeMaker 4.093.
5. GIMME and installperl patches from Tim Bunce.
6. Miscellaneous hint file updates.
Configure
Allow ' ' to mean 'none' in a few more places. This provides
a way for hint files to set something to an empty value and to
ensure that the empty value will be maintained when config.sh is
reused.
Fix silly ld typo that prevented hint file from actually setting
$ld.
MANIFEST
Now has pod/pod2*.SH.
Makefile.SH
Remove old libperl.a instead of blindly adding to it. Failure to
do this causes a problem if you originally used perl's malloc but
later changed your mind. The old malloc.o would still be in
libperl.a
ext/DynaLoader/dl_dlopen.xs
Use strerror(errno) instead of dlerror for NetBSD.
handy.h
Clarify & rework HAS_BOOL comments and code. No functionality is
changed, but I hope this is easier to follow.
hints/freebsd.sh
hints/isc.sh
hints/linux.sh
hints/netbsd.sh
hints/next_3_0.sh
hints/next_3_2.sh
hints/sco_3.sh
Miscellaneous updates. See the individual comments in the patches.
installperl
Run ranlib on installed .a libraries.
unlink() old versions of files before installing new ones, in
case the old ones are are write-protected.
lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
Updated to 4.092 by Andreas Koenig. This features better
selection of shared library versions and shorter command lines for
static linking of new extensions. It is also more robust against
broken csh on Linux. (There's still a glob in the library
selection loop, however.)
I further updated it to 4.093 because I didn't like the
distclean target :-). It's just a sloppy quick fix, but that's
all I have time for now. I've also worked on the library version
selection stuff and the $(CC) command stuff a little more.
lib/TieHash.pm
Overdue removal of ambiguous ${pack} construction.
perl.h
New U_V macro to cast to the UV type (usually unsigned long).
pod/Makefile
Updated.
pod/pod2html.SH
Updated.
Converted to 'SH' wrapper so correct #!/path/to/perl gets used.
pod/pod2latex.SH
pod/pod2man.SH
Converted to 'SH' wrapper so correct #!/path/to/perl gets used.
pp_hot.c
GIMME patch from Tim Bunce.
pp_sys.c
Allow use of F_FREESP fcntl() directive to truncate files.
If HAS_MKDIR is not defined, the stat() call to check the result
of the system "mkdir" call was failing because the filename
pointer no longer pointed to the right location.
sv.c
Protect some (UV) casts by the new U_V() macro.
util.c
New cast_uv() function to support the U_V() macro, if needed.
cast_iv() and cast_uv() no longer assume 32-bit longs.
The various cast_() functions have also been simplified.

Configure
Updated to dist PL53.
Fix overlapping memcpy test.
Add check for ld. Use $cc instead, if on an ELF system.
With -d, don't reuse config.sh unless $myuname matches.
Warn more explicitly about changing compilers before reloading
old config.sh.
Detect Linux ELF format in nm scan.
Better detection of d_castneg. (ISC 4.1 was passing the test,
but couldn't cast in an argument list.)
Suggest -fpic for dynamic loading if you're using GNU CC under any
name.
No longer test for byacc, fmod, or drem, since they are not used.
Makefile.SH
Use $ld, not ld (only matters for SVR4)
Silence some byacc-related harmless error messages.
README
Suggest using -Dcc=gcc (or whatever).
Warn about reusing old config.sh. (The warning was already there
in 5.001; I've just expanded it a little.)
Warn against using GNU as and GNU ld on SunOS & Solaris.
config.H
config_h.SH
Updated to match Configure.
doio.c
Add socket includes.
ext/Fcntl/Fcntl.xs
Fix typo: s/SETFL/F_SETFL/;
handy.h
Check _G_HAVE_BOOL, not just if it's defined.
hints/dynix.sh
hints/hpux_9.sh
hints/linux.sh
hints/netbsd.sh
hints/titanos.sh
Updated. ELF on linux should probably work.
installperl
Install pod2html, pod2latex, and pod2man.
lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
Updated to 4.091. (4.09 + a small writedoc() patch.)
myconfig
Now includes 'ld' command.
perl.c
Revised an #elif clause since Pyramid's cpp doesn't understand
#elif.
perl.h
Fix U_L, I_V, and I_32 cast macros to ensure that
the cast_ulong(), cast_iv(), and cast_i32() functions (if used)
are passed a double. In particular, the FIXSTATUS macros were
handing int's to U_L().
Remove unnecessary HAS_FMOD testing (See util.c).
proto.h
Remove my_fmod() prototype. (See util.c)
sv.h
Fix GV/CV typo.
util.c
Simplified cast_i32() and cast_iv() to mimic what *actually*
happens on a SPARC running SunOS 4.1.3. (Previously, they did
some complicated fmod() calculation. I've since discovered that's
not what happens on the SPARC.)
With this change, fmod() is no longer necessary. Hence my_fmod
is removed. This also means the HAS_FMOD and HAS_DREM tests are
no longer needed in Configure, so they are gone too.
vms/config.vms
Remove unnecessary HAS_FMOD and HAS_DREM defines.
x2p/Makefile.SH
Silence byacc-related things.

after patches 0a through 0i
Specifically, here's what's included:
Configure
Regenerated with metaconfig patchlevel 50. This changed
a variety of things, mostly related to selecting and changing
the installation prefix.
Handle csh, sed, and byacc no matter what the setting of
d_portable. (This was causing glob problems in patch.0i).
Set d_portable to default to 'y'. It doesn't matter anyway,
but gives people a warm fuzzy feeling.
Remove useless d_group and d_passwd tests.
Add check for <sys/stat.h>.
Improve & generalize AIX version detection.
Consider /opt/man/man1 as a possible place to install man pages.
Be a little more robust about OS version changes when deciding
if the output of uname -a has really changed.
MANIFEST
MANIFEST.new
Added hints/mpeix.sh.
README
Tell users the Configure defaults are probably right.
Makefile.SH
Better detection of whether user has byacc.
Use $(MAKE) instead of make.
U/Loc_sed.U
Works again with d_portable='define'.
U/Myinit.U
Set d_portable=define as default.
U/d_byacc.U
Detect whether user has byacc even if d_portable=define.
U/d_csh.U
Works again with d_portable='define'.
U/d_group.U
Empty file to avoid useless metaconfig test.
U/d_passwd.U
Empty file to avoid useless metaconfig test.
U/dist.patch
This file contains two minor updates to dist3 PL50 that were used
to generage Configure.
U/i_sysstat.U
New test. See if sys/stat.h is available.
config.H
Updated.
config_h.SH
Updated to metaconfig patchlevel 50.
ext/NDBM_File/Makefile.PL
ext/ODBM_File/Makefile.PL
Add -lucb for SVR4 systems.
handy.h
Protect agains g++-2.6.3, which predefines bool. g++ can be
used to compile an extension, but not perl itself. Still, the
extension will #include "perl.h", which eventually gets
"handy.h", which #define's bool. If this happens to you, add
-DHAS_BOOL to your ccflags in your extension, or else ensure that
_G_config.h is #include'd before perl.h. (_G_config.h will define
_G_HAVE_BOOL, if indeed your version of g++ has bool.)
hints/aix.sh
Updated. Handles AIX 3.2.x and 4.1. Comments included!
hints/hpux_9.sh
Updated.
hints/irix_4.sh
Updated. Includes comments for IRIX 4.0.4
hints/linux.sh
Updated. Beginnings of ELF support added, but completely
untested.
hints/mpeix.sh
New hint file.
hints/solaris_2.sh
Useless ccflags="$ccflags" line removed.
hints/svr4.sh
Updated.
installperl
Doesn't use Config anymore (it already reads config.sh
directly. That's probably backwards, but, oh well.
Install perl.exp for AIX.
lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
Upgraded from 4.01 to 4.03.
makedepend.SH
Use $MAKE instead of plain make.
Index: op.c
Remove overlapping strcpy().
perl.h
Add test for <sys/stat.h>.
Delete unused VOIDSIG stuff.
Delete unused typedef struct lstring Lstring;
perl_exp.SH
Add safexxxx calls.
pp_sys.c
Delete wayward break in HAS_ALARM section.
proto.h
Change true and false (!) in function prototypes to please
g++-2.6.3, which has true and false built in. (See notes for
handy.h.)
Index: unixish.h
Long-overdue housekeeping.
HAS_GROUP and HAS_PASSWD are always defined.
util.c
Yet another (char*) cast for bcmp.
vms/config.vms
Changed comments to match unixish.h.
writemain.SH
Now correctly handles nested static extensions. Recent
MakeMakers have moved where they get built.
x2p/a2p.h
More definitions that will doubtless cause trouble somewhere
else.
x2p/a2py.c
x2p/walk.c
Remove unprotected char *strchr();

[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 :-(.

Some machines have bcopy() but not bzero(), so Configure
tests for them separately now. Likewise for symlink() and lstat().
Some systems have dirent.h but not readdir(). The symbols BZERO,
LSTAT and READDIR are now used to differentiate.
Some machines have <time.h> including <sys/time.h>. Some do
the opposite. Some don't even have <sys/time.h>. Configure
now looks for both kinds of include, and the saga continues...
Configure tested twice for the presence of -lnm because x2p/Makefile.SH
had a reference to the obsolete $libnm variable. It now tests
only once.
Some machines have goodies stashed in /usr/include/sun,
/usr/include/bsd, -lsun and -lbsd. Configure now checks those
locations.
Configure could sometimes add an option to a default of none,
producing [none -DDEBUGGING] prompts. This is fixed.
Many of the units in metaconfig used the construct
if xxx=`loc...`; then
On most machines the exit status of loc ends up in $?, but on
a few machines, the assignment apparently sets $? to 0, since
it always succeeds. Oh well...
The tests for byte order had difficulties with illegal octal
digits and constants that were too long, as well as not defining
the union in try.c correctly.
When <dirent.h> was missing, it was assumed that the field d_namlen
existed. There is now an explicit check of <sys/dir.h> for the field.
The tests of <signal.h> to see how signal() is declared needed to have
signal.h run through the C preprocessor first because of POSIX ifdefs.
The type returned by getgroups() was defaulting wrong on Suns and
such. Configure now checks against the lint library if it exists
to produce a better default.
The construct
foreach $elem (@array) {
foreach $elem (@array) {
...
}
}
didn't work right because the iterator for the array was stored
with the array rather than with the node in the syntax tree.
If you said
defined $foo{'bar'}
it would create the element $foo{'bar'} while returning the
correct value. It now no longer creates the value.
The grep() function was occasionally losing arguments or dumping core.
This was because it called eval() on each argument but didn't
account for the fact that eval() is capable of reallocating the
stack.
If you said
$something ? $foo[1] : $foo[2]
you ended up (usually) with
$something ? $foo[0] : $foo[0]
because of the way the ?: operator tries to fool the stack into
thinking there's only one argument there instead of three. This
only happened to constant subscripts. Interestingly enough,
$abc[1] ? $foo[1] : $bar[1]
would have worked, since the first argument has the same subscript.
Some machines already define TRUE and FALSE, so we have to undef
them to avoid warnings.
Several people sent in some fixes for manual typos and indent problems.
There was a reqeust to clarify the difference between $! and $@, and
I added a gratuitous warning about print making an array context for
its arguments, since people seem to run into that frequently.
suidperl could correctly emulate a setgid script, but then it could
get confused about what the actual effective gid was.
Some machine or other defines sighandler(), so perl's sighandler()
needed to be made static.
We changed uchar to unchar for Crays, and it turns out that lots
of SysV machines typedef unchar instead. Sigh. It's now un_char.
If you did substitutions to chop leading components off a string,
and then set the string from <filehandle>, under certain circumstances
the input string could be corrupted because str_gets() called
str_grow() without making sure to change the strings current length to
be the number of characters just read, rather than the old length.
op.stat occasionally failed with NFS race condition, so it now waits
two seconds instead of one to guarantee that the NFS server advances
its clock at least one second.
IBM PC/RT compiler can't deal with UNI() and LOP() macros. If you
define CRIPPLED_CC it now will recast those macros as subroutines,
which runs a little slower but doesn't give the compiler heartburn.
The } character can terminate either an associative array subscript
or a BLOCK. These set up different expectations as to whether the
next token might be a term or an operator. There was a faulty
heuristic based on whether there was an intervening newline.
It turns out that if } simply leaves the current expectations along,
the right thing happens.
The command y/abcde// didn't work because the length of the first
part was not correctly copied to the second part.
In s2p, line labels without a subsequent statement were done wrong,
since an extra semicolon needs to be supplied. It wasn't always
suppplied, and when it was supplied, it was in the wrong place.
S2p also needed to remove its /tmp files better.
A2p translates
for (a in b)
to
foreach $a} (keys(%b))
on Pyramids, because index(s, '}' + 128) doesn't find a } with the
top bit set. This has been fixed.

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.

Some of the enhancements from Perl1 included:
* New regexp routines derived from Henry Spencer's.
o Support for /(foo|bar)/.
o Support for /(foo)*/ and /(foo)+/.
o \s for whitespace, \S for non-, \d for digit, \D nondigit
* Local variables in blocks, subroutines and evals.
* Recursive subroutine calls are now supported.
* Array values may now be interpolated into lists: unlink 'foo', 'bar', @trashcan, 'tmp';
* File globbing.
* Use of <> in array contexts returns the whole file or glob list.
* New iterator for normal arrays, foreach, that allows both read and write.
* Ability to open pipe to a forked off script for secure pipes in setuid scripts.
* File inclusion via do 'foo.pl';
* More file tests, including -t to see if, for instance, stdin is a terminal. File tests now behave in a more correct manner. You can do file tests on filehandles as well as filenames. The special filetests -T and -B test a file to see if it's text or binary.
* An eof can now be used on each file of the <> input for such purposes as resetting the line numbers or appending to each file of an inplace edit.
* Assignments can now function as lvalues, so you can say things like ($HOST = $host) =~ tr/a-z/A-Z/; ($obj = $src) =~ s/\.c$/.o/;
* You can now do certain file operations with a variable which holds the name of a filehandle, e.g. open(++$incl,$includefilename); $foo = <$incl>;
* Warnings are now available (with -w) on use of uninitialized variables and on identifiers that are mentioned only once, and on reference to various undefined things.
* There is now a wait operator.
* There is now a sort operator.
* The manual is now not lying when it says that perl is generally faster than sed. I hope.

[ Perl is kind of designed to make awk and sed semi-obsolete. This posting
will include the first 10 patches after the main source. The following
description is lifted from Larry's manpage. --r$ ]
Perl is a interpreted language optimized for scanning arbitrary text
files, extracting information from those text files, and printing
reports based on that information. It's also a good language for many
system management tasks. The language is intended to be practical
(easy to use, efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny,
elegant, minimal). It combines (in the author's opinion, anyway) some
of the best features of C, sed, awk, and sh, so people familiar with
those languages should have little difficulty with it. (Language
historians will also note some vestiges of csh, Pascal, and even
BASIC-PLUS.) Expression syntax corresponds quite closely to C
expression syntax. If you have a problem that would ordinarily use sed
or awk or sh, but it exceeds their capabilities or must run a little
faster, and you don't want to write the silly thing in C, then perl may
be for you. There are also translators to turn your sed and awk
scripts into perl scripts.
