[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 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,

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.

targets to use the new installman script and to accomodate those who
don't want to install the man pages.

installman only if requested.
Include additional error messages and info for regenerating the
automatically maintained header files.

prototype for unlnk() is only needed #if UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS
sv.c
Sarathy's consolidated "tie" patch for NETaa13753 N 2 trey
Sarathy's consolidated patch for nested ties.
Use new std stdio unit.

it couldn't work on systems without the cppstdin wrapper

undef UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS since it's irrelevant for unix.
util.c
s/EUNICE/UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS/ for the unlnk() function.

for Configure]
This patch incorporates various portability fixes and uses the latest
metaconfig to generate Configure (and config_h.SH).
It would take a long time to summarize all that I've changed. I
haven't included many code changes because I'm trying *not* to
duplicate bug fixes Larry may already have applied.
Here's an older description I prepared that's still mostly accurate:
I've also included a few portability fixes in the main source, but
these are certainly not a complete set of everything that's been
reported.
Don't be put off by the size of the patch. Mostly, it's just
rearrangement of the parts in Configure and some cosmetic changes.
Since gcc often supports long long, I had started to add quad support
to Configure. Since SunOS 4.1.3 defines a conflicting "quad"
structure, I changed the name from 'quad' to Quad_t, consistent with
other Configure "types." I also changed "QUAD" to "HAS_QUAD".
However, it turns out it's pretty hard to actually *use* Quad_t.
Neither system I have access to can sprintf() a "long long", nor can
they carry one around in an IV, unless I make IV "long long", which I
didn't want to force generally. Thus I wonder whether any but a
precious few could actually use Quad_t, and dropped the tests from
Configure. I left in the s/quad/Quad_t/ and s/QUAD/HAS_QUAD/ stuff in
case someone else wants to pick it up, and also because I was too lazy
to take it back out :-).
Some highlights:
Configure
Several new options. Use Configure -h to learn more. Also,
read the directions Configure prints. :-)
Spaces now allowed in -D command line options.
New -O option that overrides config.sh.
You can start interactively and then change that to accepting
all the defaults by specifying &-d at any Configure prompt. This
is useful if you have to re-run Configure to only change a few
settings.
Signal type set correctly for the cast{i32,neg} tests.
archname detection improved a bit
guard against ksh users who have set -u
Oldconfig.U cleaned up and regularized a bit more.
Guard against hint files using (and over-writing) $tmp.
Command line options now are processed after metaconfig INIT
lines. Thus things like Configure -Uuseposix should work now.
Various miscellaneous clean-ups.
better use/detection of tr.
i_db.U now checks for hash and prefix type (I think!) I can't
test it here.
i_?db*.U now all check for an associated function before deciding
to include or not the header.
MANIFEST
MANIFEST.new
Sorted & updated.
Makefile.SH
Some shells/makes bombed out on test -d lib/auto || mkdir lib/auto
Use makedir instead.
README
Some additional notes that people won't read :-).
cflags.SH
Now calls $startsh. Weird things were happening on Intergraph,
and this might be related.
config.H
Updated.
config_h.SH
Regenerated.
deb.c
Varargs dependencies on STANDARD_C replaced by I_STDARG.
doop.c
quad stuff.
ext/DB_File/DB_File.xs
Use the new DB_Hash_t and DB_Prefix_t symbols.
ext/SDBM_File/sdbm/sdbm.h
Fix #defines to be more robust.
mg.c
Replace VOIDSIG by metaconfig's Signal_t.
opcode.h
opcode.pl
semop only takes 2 arguments, not 3.
perl.c
Better guard on getenv() prototype. A hint file can use this, if
necessary. Me, I think some compilers are just too picky.
perl.h
The (very) beginnings of some Quad support. See above.
Remove the very troublesome sprintf() prototype. Since we don't
_use_ the return value anyway (since it's not portable) this
should be o.k. The problem was that some systems CAN_PROTOTYPE
but include char *sprintf(); in <stdio.h>. That's incompatible
with the version we used to have in perl.h. Most people have
a prototype for sprintf() in <stdio.h>. Those that don't probably
can get by without it anyway.
Protect the timesbuf by the specific HAS_TIMES test. Some older
gcc-2.something/Solaris 2.something installations apparently don't
have times.
pp.c
More quad stuff.
pp_ctl.c
s/STANDARD_C/I_STDARG/ for varargs stuff.
pp_sys.c
use Signal_t.
proto.h
Update to match new metaconfig names.
util.c
s/STANDARD_C/I_STDARG/ for varargs stuff.
comment out <unistd.h>. A pause prototype was causing problems on
some systems.
vms/config.vms
Changed to use Signal_t.

[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 :-(.
