From: Paul Marquess <pmarquess@bfsec.bt.co.uk>
Files: pod/perlfunc.pod
Following on from the patch to make uc, lc etc default to $_ (as per
Camel II), here is a followup patch to perlfunc that documents the
change. I think I have documented all the other cases where $_
defaulting works as well.

Subject: UnixWare 2.1 fix for perl5.003_08 - cope with fp->_cnt < -1, allow debugging
Date: Wed, 20 Nov 1996 14:27:06 +0100
From: John Hughes <john@AtlanTech.COM>
Files: sv.c
UnixWare 2.1 has no fp->_base so most of the debugging stuff in sv_gets just
core dumps.
Also, for some unknown reason fp->_cnt is sometimes < -1, screwing up the
initial SvGROW in svgets.
Appart from that its io is std.

Since _09 is going to be alpha anyway, I reiterate my question:
Is there any reason to not include my hash/array performance
patches in _09?
Btw, here is the next performance patch. It makes PADTMP values
stealable too. I do not do by setting TEMP flags on them, since it
would be a very distributed patch, and it would break some places
which check for TEMP for some other reasons (yes, I checked ;-).
This patch decreases *twice* the memory usage of
perl -e '$a = "a" x 1e6; 1'
Enjoy,

PORTABILITY
Subject: VMS patches post-5.003_08
Date: Fri, 22 Nov 1996 18:16:31 -0500 (EST)
From: Charles Bailey <bailey@hmivax.humgen.upenn.edu>
Files: lib/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm lib/ExtUtils/MM_VMS.pm lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm lib/File/Path.pm mg.c pp_ctl.c utils/h2xs.PL vms/config.vms vms/descrip.mms vms/gen_shrfls.pl vms/genconfig.pl vms/perlvms.pod vms/vms.c vms/vmsish.h
Here're diffs to bring a base 5.003_08 up to the current VMS working
sources. Nearly all of the changes are VMS-specific, and comprise
miscellaneous bugfixes accumulated since 5.003_07, rather than any
particular problem with 5.003_08. I'm posting them here since some
of the patches change core files, and I'd like to insure that I
haven't accidentally created problems for anyone else.
With these and a couple of of the small patches already send to p5p,
5.003_08 builds clean and passes all tests under VMS.
Thanks, Chip, for all the work.

[editor's note: no patch file was found for this release, so no
fine-grained changes]
I can't find the password for our ftp server, so I had to drop it into
ftp://ftp.sems.com/pub/incoming/perl5.002b3.tar.gz, which is a drop
directory you can't ls.
The current plan is that Andy is gonna whack on this a little more, and
then release a gamma in a few days when he's happy with it. So don't get
carried away. This is now *late* beta.
In other words, have less than the appropriate amount of fun. :-)

If you're adventurous, have a look at
ftp://ftp.sems.com/pub/outgoing/perl5.0/perl5.002beta1.tar.gz
Many thanks to Andy for doing the integration.
Obviously, if you consult the bugs database, you'll note there are
still plenty of buglets that need fixing, and several enhancements that
I've intended to put in still haven't made it in (Hi, Tim and Ilya).
But I think it'll be pretty stable. And you can start to fiddle around
with prototypes (which are, of course, still totally undocumented).
Packrats, don't worry too much about readvertising this widely.
Nowadays we're on a T1 here, so our bandwidth is okay.
Have the appropriate amount of jollity.
Larry

To apply, change to your perl directory, run the command above, then
apply with
patch -p1 -N < thispatch.
Highlights of this patch include:
1. Fixes for $sitelib, $d_stdio_ptr_lval, and $d_stdio_cnt_lval
when config.sh is re-used.
2. Move embed.h, keywords.h, and opcode.h dependencies to
a special regen_headers target that is ordinarily not used.
This is now analogous to the run_byacc target. As a cosmetic
side-effect, I transliterated embed_h.sh into embed.pl so that
it can run on non-unix systems as well.
3. Tests for gdbm_{sync,exists,setopt} in GDBM_File (needed for
Slackware 2.1).
For good measure, I've also thrown in the following patches I pulled
off the list, mostly unmodified from the originals.
1. Larry's "unofficial official" fix for the subroutine array context
problem.
2. Tim's __DATA__ patch. (I kept forgetting about this one.)
3. Malcom's USE_OP_MASK patch to pave the way for his Safe extension.
4. Spider's suggested renaming of regexec to pregexec and regcomp to
pregcomp to avoid conflicts with POSIX symbols on Digital Unix.
(I only added a brief explanatory comment to the relevant .c
files.)
5. Spider's installperl patch to avoid installing *.orig and and the
.exists files. (I changed this a little to include patch's ~
suffix, which is used on systems with short file names (in some
versions of patch)).
6. Raphael's "safe_unlink" patch to installperl, in case a copy
of perl is currently runniung.
7. xsubpp 1.9.
8. Tim's lib.pm module (with patched corrected spelling of 2nd :-).
9. Tim's Exporter module version patches.
10. Tim's MakeMaker patches for make test when LINKTYPE=static.
11. Randal's pod2html patches.
12. Spider's "picky compiler" patches for x2p/util.[ch]
13. Paul's updated source filtering patches.
Patch and enjoy. I hope nothing breaks :-).

[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 :-(.
