*	perl 4.0.00: (no release announcement available)perl-4.0.00	Larry Wall	1991-03-21	1	-2/+0
\| \| \| \|	So far, 4.0 is still a beta test version. For the last production version, look in pub/perl.3.0/kits@44.
*	perl 3.0 patch #37 (combined patch)	Larry Wall	1990-10-19	1	-1/+1
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	I tried to take the strlen of an integer on systems without wait4() or waitpid(). For some reason this didn't work too well... In hash.c there was a call to dbm_nextkey() which needed to be ifdefed on old dbm systems. A pattern such as /foo.*bar$/ was wrongly optimized to do tail matching on "foo". This was a longstanding bug that was unmasked by patch 36. Some systems have some SYS V IPC but not all of it. Configure now figures this out. Patch 36 put the user's PATH in front of Configures, but to make it work right I needed to change all calls of loc to ./loc in Configure. $cryptlib needed to be mentioned in the Makefile. Apollo 10.3 and Sun 3.5 have some compilation problems, so I mentioned them in README. Cray has weird restrictions on setjmp locations--you can't say if (result = setjmp(...)) Random typos and cleanup.

	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.
