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 and 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:
Linux fixes: Now correctly sets & uses stdio _ptr and _cnt
tricks only when feasible (Configure, config_h.SH, config_H,
doio.c, sv.c x2p/str.c)
#!path-to-perl fixed to use $binexp instead of $bin. This should
really be fixed to do the correct perl start-up stuff. Volunteers?
(c2ph.SH, h2ph.SH, h2xs.SH, makeaperl.SH, perldoc.SH,
pod/pod2*.SH, x2p/find2perl.SH, x2p/s2p.SH)
hint updates: hints/apollo.sh, hints/linux.sh, hints/freebsd.sh,
hints/sco_3.sh.
xsubpp version 1.7. (includes CASE support)

Other sundry small things.
Patch and enjoy,

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
Dept. of Physics
Lafayette College Easton, PA 18042
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.
MANIFEST
Updated.
Makefile.SH
Reorganized a bit to support separate install.perl and install.man
targets to use the new installman script and to accomodate those who
don't want to install the man pages.
Organize cleanup of .SH files a little better.
No longer automatically make the pod/*.man files. This is done by
installman only if requested.
Include additional error messages and info for regenerating the
automatically maintained header files.
Add 'minitest' target.

This patch only includes updates to the lib/ directory and
the removal of the pod/modpods. The main things are the following:
The modpods are now embedded in their corresponding .pm files.
The Grand AutoLoader patch.
Updates to lib/ExtUtils/xsubpp by Paul Marquess
<pmarquess@bfsec.bt.co.uk>.
Minor changes to a very few modules and pods.
To apply, change to your perl directory, run the commands above, then
apply with
patch -p1 -N < thispatch.
After you apply this patch, you should go on to apply patch.1h and
patch.1i before reConfiguring and building.
Patch and enjoy,

This is my patch patch.1d for perl5.001. A complete description is
given below, but here are the basic changes.
1. Linux: more tweaks so dynamic loading works under ELF
or (maybe) under dld. There are so many different dld versions
and so many different tool sets, it's hard to be more specific.
2. perl -e '$v=1e19+0' no longer dumps core on Intel x86
processors.
3. pod stuff:
a. Wrapped pod2* translators in a 'SH' wrapper so that they
have the proper path to perl at the top.
b. Fixed pod/ Makefile to call the pod2html translator
correctly. (Why do pod2man and pod2html work differently?)
c. Include latest (Feb 2, 1995) version of pod2html, fresh from
ftp.metronet.com.
4. MakeMaker 4.093.
5. GIMME and installperl patches from Tim Bunce.
6. Miscellaneous hint file updates.
Configure
Allow ' ' to mean 'none' in a few more places. This provides
a way for hint files to set something to an empty value and to
ensure that the empty value will be maintained when config.sh is
reused.
Fix silly ld typo that prevented hint file from actually setting
$ld.
MANIFEST
Now has pod/pod2*.SH.
Makefile.SH
Remove old libperl.a instead of blindly adding to it. Failure to
do this causes a problem if you originally used perl's malloc but
later changed your mind. The old malloc.o would still be in
libperl.a
ext/DynaLoader/dl_dlopen.xs
Use strerror(errno) instead of dlerror for NetBSD.
handy.h
Clarify & rework HAS_BOOL comments and code. No functionality is
changed, but I hope this is easier to follow.
hints/freebsd.sh
hints/isc.sh
hints/linux.sh
hints/netbsd.sh
hints/next_3_0.sh
hints/next_3_2.sh
hints/sco_3.sh
Miscellaneous updates. See the individual comments in the patches.
installperl
Run ranlib on installed .a libraries.
unlink() old versions of files before installing new ones, in
case the old ones are are write-protected.
lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
Updated to 4.092 by Andreas Koenig. This features better
selection of shared library versions and shorter command lines for
static linking of new extensions. It is also more robust against
broken csh on Linux. (There's still a glob in the library
selection loop, however.)
I further updated it to 4.093 because I didn't like the
distclean target :-). It's just a sloppy quick fix, but that's
all I have time for now. I've also worked on the library version
selection stuff and the $(CC) command stuff a little more.
lib/TieHash.pm
Overdue removal of ambiguous ${pack} construction.
perl.h
New U_V macro to cast to the UV type (usually unsigned long).
pod/Makefile
Updated.
pod/pod2html.SH
Updated.
Converted to 'SH' wrapper so correct #!/path/to/perl gets used.
pod/pod2latex.SH
pod/pod2man.SH
Converted to 'SH' wrapper so correct #!/path/to/perl gets used.
pp_hot.c
GIMME patch from Tim Bunce.
pp_sys.c
Allow use of F_FREESP fcntl() directive to truncate files.
If HAS_MKDIR is not defined, the stat() call to check the result
of the system "mkdir" call was failing because the filename
pointer no longer pointed to the right location.
sv.c
Protect some (UV) casts by the new U_V() macro.
util.c
New cast_uv() function to support the U_V() macro, if needed.
cast_iv() and cast_uv() no longer assume 32-bit longs.
The various cast_() functions have also been simplified.

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 :-(.
