(from perldoc source)
# We must look both in @INC for library modules and in PATH
# for executables, like h2xs or perldoc itself.
Unfortunately, searching PATH for installed perl executables like
pod2man is INCORRECT. perldoc should start by searching the
directory it was executed from, which might not be in the PATH
at all.

Here are some diffs to the _11 pods. I forgot to add perldelta to
perl.pod though.
And *PLEASE* fix the Artistic License so it no longer has the bogus
"whomever" misdeclined in the nominative case:
under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whomever generated
them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this
It should obviously be "whoever".

Files: Configure config_H config_h.SH pp.c
Subject: perl5.003_11, Should base use of gettimeofday on HAS_GETTIMEOFDAY, not I_SYS_TIME
I've been installing perl5.003_11 on a SCO system that has the TCP/IP runtime
installed but not the TCP/IP development system.
Unfortunately the <sys/time.h> include file is included in the TCP/IP runtime
while libsocket.a is in the development system.
This means that pp.c decides to use "gettimeofday" because <sys/time.h> is
present but I can't link the perl that gets compiled.
So, here's a patch to base the use of "gettimeofday" on "HAS_GETTIMEOFDAY"
instead of "I_SYS_TIME". I also took the liberty of removing the special
case for plan9 (I assume plan9 has <sys/time.h> but no gettimeofday. Am I
right?).
