It doesn't seem sensible to fill up the pods with history like this. In fact, perltrap has listed the feature as discontinued rather than deprecated, since at least 5.002. It's been gone for well over a year and nobody's complained. Let's just bury it. I suggest replacing Robin's patch by p5p-msgid: <E0vilLh-0000M6-00@ursa.cus.cam.ac.uk>

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [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. :-) Larry

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 :-(. ]
