I got the new installhtml from CPAN
(TOMC/scripts/pod2html-v2.0beta.shar.gz)
I had problems getting the system call to splitpod at line 376 to work.
1. splitroot was not being found
2. splitroot was not finding its library
3. I changed htmlroot to podroot at line 175 to match the documentation.

To apply, change to your perl directory, run the command above, then
apply with
patch -p1 -N < thispatch.
This is a consolidation patch. It contains many of the most commonly
applied or agreed-to patches that have been circulating since
patch.1m.
It also changes the 'unofficial patchlevel' in perl.c.
There are some problems (see items marked with '***').
I will attempt to address those in a patch.1o in a few days.
This patch contains the following packages:
My Jumbo Configure patch vs. 1m, with subsequent patches 1, 2, and 3.
Mainly, this provides easier use of local libraries, documents
the installation process in a new INSTALL file, moves important
questions towards the beginning, and improves detection of
signal names (mostly for Linux).
xsubpp-1.922.
Patches from Larry:
eval "1" memory leak patch (as modified by GSAR to apply to 5.001m).
NETaa14551 Infinite loop in formats,
NETaa13729 scope.c patch (fixed problems on AIX and others)
NETaa14138 "substr() & s///" (pp_hot.c)
Patches from ftp.perl.com:
ftp://ftp.perl.com/pub/perl/src/patches/closure-bug.patch,
version of 20 Sep 1995
Includes fix for NETaa14347 (32k limit in regex), and other
fixes.

NETaa14636 Jumbo DynaLoader patch for Perl5.001m, and
Additional patch for NETaa14636 Jumbo DynaLoader patch for Perl5.001m
version of 09 Oct 1995.
***This needs some additional parentheses.***
MakeMaker-5.00. Supercedes NETaa13540 (VMS MakeMaker patches).
(Updates minimod.PL as well.)
***This has a couple of minor problems.
pod2man is run even if it isn't available.
LD_RUN_PATH gets set to some mysterious values.***
NETaa14657 Paul Marquess Net::Ping patch. I've included
Net-Ping-1.00.
NETaa14661 Dean Roehrich DProf. Installed as ext/Devel/DProf.
Configure should pick this up automatically. (5 Apr 1995
version.)
NETaa13742 Jack Shirazi Socket in 5.001. I've also included
his socket.t test in t/lib/socket.t.
c2ph-1.7.
Dean's perlapi patches of Oct 12, 1995, which superceded those
of Oct 8, 1995. This is the one that did
mv perlapi.pid perlxs.pod.
NETaa14310 Tim Bunce A trivial patch for configpm (handy for shell scripts)
DB_File-1.0 patch from Paul Marquess (pmarquess@bfsec.bt.co.uk)
