[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. :-)

cd to your perl source directory, and type
patch -p1 -N < patch.2b1g
This patch is just my packaging of Tom's documentation patches
he released as patch.2b1g.
Patch and enjoy,

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.
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 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 :-).

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

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.

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

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

installman only if requested.

Suggest using -Dcc=gcc (or whatever).
Warn about reusing old config.sh. (The warning was already there
in 5.001; I've just expanded it a little.)
Warn against using GNU as and GNU ld on SunOS & Solaris.
config.H
config_h.SH
Updated to match Configure.
doio.c
Add socket includes.
ext/Fcntl/Fcntl.xs
Fix typo: s/SETFL/F_SETFL/;
handy.h
Check _G_HAVE_BOOL, not just if it's defined.
hints/dynix.sh
hints/hpux_9.sh
hints/linux.sh
hints/netbsd.sh
hints/titanos.sh
Updated. ELF on linux should probably work.
installperl
Install pod2html, pod2latex, and pod2man.
lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
Updated to 4.091. (4.09 + a small writedoc() patch.)
myconfig
Now includes 'ld' command.
perl.c
Revised an #elif clause since Pyramid's cpp doesn't understand
#elif.
perl.h
Fix U_L, I_V, and I_32 cast macros to ensure that
the cast_ulong(), cast_iv(), and cast_i32() functions (if used)
are passed a double. In particular, the FIXSTATUS macros were
handing int's to U_L().
Remove unnecessary HAS_FMOD testing (See util.c).
proto.h
Remove my_fmod() prototype. (See util.c)
sv.h
Fix GV/CV typo.
util.c
Simplified cast_i32() and cast_iv() to mimic what *actually*
happens on a SPARC running SunOS 4.1.3. (Previously, they did
some complicated fmod() calculation. I've since discovered that's
not what happens on the SPARC.)
With this change, fmod() is no longer necessary. Hence my_fmod
is removed. This also means the HAS_FMOD and HAS_DREM tests are
no longer needed in Configure, so they are gone too.
vms/config.vms
Remove unnecessary HAS_FMOD and HAS_DREM defines.
x2p/Makefile.SH
Silence byacc-related things.

problems reported even after patches 0a through 0j
MakeMaker 4.06 allows you to build extensions away from the source
tree with either static or dynamic loading.
In a rare act of prescience, I've also fixed some un-reported bugs.
Specifically, there were several places where Configure said you could
specify things using ~name notation, but, in fact, you couldn't.
In detail, here's what's included:
Configure
Check I_SYS_TYPES for x2p/a2p.h
Improve and generalize $osvers detection for DEC Alpha
(now will work even for osvers > 3.)
No longer override hint-file setting of $archname.
Don't tell users ~name is ok for Dynamic loading file. It's not.
MANIFEST
MANIFEST.new
Updated.
Makefile.SH
Some trailing ' ' removed from lines.
New target lib/ExtUtils/Miniperl.pm built. This stashes away
miniperlmain.c in the library so new static extensions can be
built away from the source tree.
Minor cleanup.
U/Oldconfig.pat.2
This is a patch to be applied against dist-PL 50 to upgrade
the DEC OSF/1 version detection.
U/archlib.U
Preserve previous value for $archname. Otherwise this is
identical to the unit in dist-PL 50.
U/dlsrc.U
Users may not use ~name notation to find the dynamic loading
module. (Back in early alpha days they could, but that hasn't
worked since the DynaLoader module was introduced.
config.H
Updated.
config_h.SH
Updated.
hints/dec_osf.sh
Updated. Simplified. Don't use ld -no_archive (at least as
the default). It only worked because some versions *ignored* it.
hints/mpeix.sh
Add a few comments. I should have added more.
hints/next_3_0.sh
New hint file from Kevin White <klwhite@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu>
hints/ultrix_4.sh
Separate out flags not appropriate for gcc.
installperl
Install sperl.o.
lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
Upgraded from 4.03 to 4.06. Many improvements. Now possible
to build and install new extensions outside the source tree,
for both static and dynamic loading.
lib/File/Path.pm
New. Creates or removes a series of directories
makeaperl
New utility to create a new perl binary from static extensions
minimod.PL
New. minimod.PL writes the contents of miniperlmain.c into the
module ExtUtils::Miniperl for later perusal (when the perl
source is deleted)
perl.c
ARCHLIB and PRIVLIB changed to ARCHLIB_EXP and PRIVLIB_EXP,
since perl is not prepared to deal with ~name expansion. The
_EXP variables are pre-expanded by Configure.
proto.h
NeXt 3.0 couldn't handle the #ifdef __attribute line.
It said 'illegal #ifdef'.
vms/config.vms
s/ARCHLIB/ARCHLIB_EXP/;
s/PRIVLIB/PRIVLIB_EXP/;
Add in I_SYS_STAT and I_SYS_TYPES, since the source now looks
for them.
vms/ext/MM_VMS.pm
New file.
x2p/a2p.h
Include <sys/types.h>

: Are there any patches available for perl5.000, or a list of know bugs?
: I am having problems with a script running out of memory, which may be
: causes by memory leaks. The process size grows steadily up to approx
: 8Meg (over a couple of minutes) an then grows to approx 22Meg (in 2 or

: leaks, but I am not sure whether this is as a result of perl
: abandoning memory as it exits.
5.001 will contain fixes for a number of memory leaks. Here are some
unofficial patches for some of the more spectacular ones. The one
for sv.c is the likeliest one to be affecting you, unless you're doing
a lot of evals.

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.

releases of Andy Dougherty and Larry Wall - see pod/perlhist.pod for

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 :-(.

other little things that have been accumulating on version 4.

Ok, here's the cleanup patch I suggested you wait for. Have at it...
Subject: added little-endian pack/unpack options
This is the only enhancement in this patch, but it seemed unlikely
to bust anything else, and added functionality that it was very
difficult to do any other way. Compliments of David W. Sanderson.
Subject: op/regexp.t failed from missing arg to bcmp()
Subject: study was busted by 4.018
Subject: sort $subname was busted by changes in 4.018
Subject: default arg for shift was wrong after first subroutine definition
Things that broke in 4.018. Shame on me.
Subject: do {$foo ne "bar";} returned wrong value
A bug of long standing. How come nobody saw this one? Or if you
did, why didn't you report it before now? Or if you did, why did
I ignore you? :-)
Subject: some machines need -lsocket before -lnsl
Subject: some earlier patches weren't propagated to alternate 286 code
Subject: compile in the x2p directory couldn't find cppstdin
Subject: more hints for aix, isc, hp, sco, uts
Subject: installperl no longer updates unchanged library files
Subject: uts wrongly defines S_ISDIR() et al
Subject: too many preprocessors can't expand a macro right in #if
The usual pastiche of portability kludges.
Subject: deleted some unused functions from usersub.c
And fixed the spelling of John Macdonald's name, and included his
suggested workaround for a certain vendor's stdio bug...
Subject: added readdir test
Subject: made op/groups.t more reliable
Subject: added test for sort $subname to op/sort.t
Subject: added some hacks to op/stat.t for weird filesystem architectures
Improvements (hopefully) to the regression tests.
