Note that in between AMG_names got const on it (a good thing!), but as a corollary I needed to cast away const-ness to actually use it (since, say, newSVpv does not have const args).

Porters, note this doesn't actually mention that the HTML entity names are valid, here's a patch. It also change E<nnn> to use only one n, as none of the translators care how many digits the number has. It also fixes numeric escapes in pod2html. p5p-msgid: <pzwwueimak.fsf@eeyore.ibcinc.com>

Unfortunately the <sys/time.h> include file is included in the TCP/IP runtime while libsocket.a is in the development system. This means that pp.c decides to use "gettimeofday" because <sys/time.h> is present but I can't link the perl that gets compiled. So, here's a patch to base the use of "gettimeofday" on "HAS_GETTIMEOFDAY" instead of "I_SYS_TIME". I also took the liberty of removing the special case for plan9 (I assume plan9 has <sys/time.h> but no gettimeofday. Am I right?). p5p-msgid: <01BBE77A.F6F37F80@malvinas.AtlanTech.COM> Subject: Make $startperl a relative path if people want portable scrip From: Chip Salzenberg <chip@atlantic.net> Files: Configure Subject: Homogenize use of "eval exec" hack From: Chip Salzenberg <chip@atlantic.net> Files: Porting/Glossary eg/README eg/nih eg/sysvipc/ipcmsg eg/sysvipc/ipcsem eg/sysvipc/ipcshm lib/diagnostics.pm makeaperl.SH pod/checkpods.PL pod/perlrun.pod pod/pod2html.PL pod/pod2latex.PL pod/pod2man.PL pod/pod2text.PL utils/c2ph.PL utils/h2ph.PL utils/h2xs.PL utils/perlbug.PL utils/perldoc.PL utils/pl2pm.PL x2p/a2py.c x2p/find2perl.PL x2p/s2p.PL Subject: LynxOS support Date: Thu, 12 Dec 1996 09:25:00 PST From: Greg Seibert <seibert@Lynx.COM> Files: Configure MANIFEST hints/lynxos.sh t/op/stat.t Msg-ID: <m0vYEsY-0000IZC@kzinti.lynx.com> (applied based on p5p patch as commit 6693373533b15e559fd8f0f1877e5e6ec15483cc) Subject: Re: db-recno.t failures with _11 on Freebsd 2.1-stable Date: 11 Dec 1996 18:58:56 -0500 From: Roderick Schertler <roderick@gate.net> Files: INSTALL hints/freebsd.sh Msg-ID: <pzohg0r5tr.fsf@eeyore.ibcinc.com> (applied based on p5p patch as commit 10e40321ee752c58e3407b204c74c8049894cb51) Subject: VMS patches to 5.003_11 Date: Mon, 09 Dec 1996 23:16:10 -0500 (EST) From: Charles Bailey <bailey@HMIVAX.HUMGEN.UPENN.EDU> Files: MANIFEST regexec.c t/lib/filehand.t util.c vms/* private-msgid: <01ICTR32LCZG001A1D@hmivax.humgen.upenn.edu> TESTING Subject: recurse recurse recurse ...

* 5.002 beta 1Larry Wall1995-11-211-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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

[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 :-(. ]
