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)

To apply, change to your perl directory, run the commands above, then
apply with
patch -p1 -N < thispatch.
After you apply this patch, I would recommend:
rm config.sh
sh Configure [whatever options you use]
make depend
make
make test
Here are the highlights:
All pod documentation now installed, along with corresponding man
pages, if possible (Configure allows you to change this).
cppstdin no longer points back to the build directory. This
necessitated two changes to the test suite: comp/cpp.t is now a
front end that punts if cppstdin is not yet available (the old
perl4 trick doesn't work for perl5). The op/misc.t test
./perl -P -e 'use POSIX;' has been dropped since I couldn't think
of an elegant way to bypass it for systems that need the cppstdin
wrapper.
Grand autoload patch included (minus the installperl, lib/, and
ext/ changes). The lib/ changes are in patch.1g, and the
ext/ changes are in patch.1h.
Better detection and use of stdio variants, especially on SVR4.
Sarathy's consolidated patches (for ties) included.
New filter stuff included.
Three patches from Larry (gv.c, toke.c, pp_ctl.c)
Patch and enjoy,
Andy Dougherty doughera@lafcol.lafayette.edu

Here's the file-by-file breakdown of what's included:
Changes.Conf
Document changes in the Configure & build process.
Configure
Upgrade to metaconfig PL55.
Add /opt hierarchy to paths searched for programs.
Tye McQueen's updated std stdio testing.
Prompting for installation info for perl module pages.
Add possible SITELIB to include site-specific include directories.
By default this is disabled, but it seemed a neat idea now that
the standard perl library is getting so big.
Check that the compiler chosen exists and actually supports the
options the user specified.
Correctly sort multiple shared library version numbers.
Use a compile & link test for gconvert(), dlopen(), and dlerror().
Do not include build directory name in cppstdin wrapper.
MANIFEST
Updated.
Makefile.SH
Reorganized a bit to support separate install.perl and install.man
targets to use the new installman script and to accomodate those who
don't want to install the man pages.
Organize cleanup of .SH files a little better.
No longer automatically make the pod/*.man files. This is done by
installman only if requested.
Include additional error messages and info for regenerating the
automatically maintained header files.
Add 'minitest' target.

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();

This patch does the following things:
1. Fix various bonehead errors I introduced in patches a-g.
2. Incorporate MakeMaker changes to bring it up to version 4.01 (mostly).
3. Stick in things I forgot in patches a-g (e.g. AIX).
4. Some minor additional cleanup in x2p/ for even pickier compilers.
5. More hints updates (hpux and next).
6. Include newest dl_hpux.xs.
I didn't have time to
1. Fix the overlapping strcpy() in op.c
2. Restore h2xs to Larry's original design to process <>.
3. take out unnecessary "use Config" in installperl.
4. Add in vms patches.
I forgot to
[If I remembered what i forgot, I wouldn't have forgotten it. :]
I deliberately decided *not* to
1. Touch pod/*
2. deal with overloading
Specifically, here's what's included:
Configure
Regenerated to be sure it's up-to-date.
Makefile.SH
Build extension libraries right into lib/auto/whatever.
Don't set CCCDLFLAGS since we don't use it anyway.
Take care to avoid modifying lib/Config.pm without reason
Visit DynaLoader for `make clean'. (Previously only did
so for `make realclean'.)
@echo "Note that make realclean does not delete config.sh"
Include config.h dependency.
U/i_db.U
config_h.SH
config.H
Remove unwanted quotes around db_hashtype and db_prefixtype.
configpm
Allow specification of alternate name for lib/Config.pm,
so the makefile mv-if-diff trick saves needless re-making.
ext/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.pm
Updated warning messages and comments.
ext/DynaLoader/dl_hpux.xs
Updated to version 2.1. Now uses bootstrap files.
ext/util/make_ext
Explicitly use #!/bin/sh to start it up. This is useful
for testing make_ext.
Improve & simplify Nested::Extension::Processing.
More robust handling of `make clean'.
hints/hpux_9.sh
Support both the bundled and unbundled compilers.
hints/next_3_2.sh
Back to using -posix rather than POSIX_SOURCE. And that only
for ext/POSIX/POSIX.xs.
installperl
Special ranlib treatment for NeXT, which gets confused about
timestamps in libraries, even when you just copy the library.
Supply missing '$' in samepath() function.
lib/AutoSplit.pm
New parameters.
lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
Upgraded from 3.8 to 4.01.
lib/ExtUtils/xsubpp
Documentation changed from man to pod.
lib/Getopt/Long.pm
Avoid typo warning.
Drop unused $optx.
lib/Text/Tabs.pm
Fix package name.
makedepend.SH
Explicitly start with $startsh.
Catch cpp that prints # <stdin> instead of line numbers.
perl.h
Fix bonehead mistake that ended up calling my_fmod even if
not needed.
perl_exp.SH
also add symbols from interp.sym
proto.h
Delete 2 redundant prototypes (newBINOP and newUNOP).
util.c
Add (char *) casts to unsigned char args to bcmp.
x2p/a2p.h
Rearrange order of <string?.h> and bcopy & bzero stuff.
Change a few function prototypes to void, to reflect actual
usage.
x2p/a2py.c
Change a few function types to void, to reflect actual usage.
x2p/handy.h
Make *alloc declarations match those in x2p/util.c.
x2p/util.c
Make *alloc declarations match those in x2p/handy.h.
x2p/walk.c
Add a (Size_t) cast for comparison of 1 to the result of strlen().
Thanks to all who's work is included here. Little of it is mine.

[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.

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.

I botched patch #12, so that split(' ') only works on the first
line of input due to unintended interference by the optimization
that was added at the same time. Yes, I tested it, but only on
one line of input. *Sigh*
Some glitches have turned up on some of the rusty pig iron out there,
so here are some unglitchifications.

[ 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.
