after patches 0a through 0i
Specifically, here's what's included:
Configure
Regenerated with metaconfig patchlevel 50. This changed
a variety of things, mostly related to selecting and changing
the installation prefix.
Handle csh, sed, and byacc no matter what the setting of
d_portable. (This was causing glob problems in patch.0i).
Set d_portable to default to 'y'. It doesn't matter anyway,
but gives people a warm fuzzy feeling.
Remove useless d_group and d_passwd tests.
Add check for <sys/stat.h>.
Improve & generalize AIX version detection.
Consider /opt/man/man1 as a possible place to install man pages.
Be a little more robust about OS version changes when deciding
if the output of uname -a has really changed.
MANIFEST
MANIFEST.new
Added hints/mpeix.sh.
README
Tell users the Configure defaults are probably right.
Makefile.SH
Better detection of whether user has byacc.
Use $(MAKE) instead of make.
U/Loc_sed.U
Works again with d_portable='define'.
U/Myinit.U
Set d_portable=define as default.
U/d_byacc.U
Detect whether user has byacc even if d_portable=define.
U/d_csh.U
Works again with d_portable='define'.
U/d_group.U
Empty file to avoid useless metaconfig test.
U/d_passwd.U
Empty file to avoid useless metaconfig test.
U/dist.patch
This file contains two minor updates to dist3 PL50 that were used
to generage Configure.
U/i_sysstat.U
New test. See if sys/stat.h is available.
config.H
Updated.
config_h.SH
Updated to metaconfig patchlevel 50.
ext/NDBM_File/Makefile.PL
ext/ODBM_File/Makefile.PL
Add -lucb for SVR4 systems.
handy.h
Protect agains g++-2.6.3, which predefines bool. g++ can be
used to compile an extension, but not perl itself. Still, the
extension will #include "perl.h", which eventually gets
"handy.h", which #define's bool. If this happens to you, add
-DHAS_BOOL to your ccflags in your extension, or else ensure that
_G_config.h is #include'd before perl.h. (_G_config.h will define
_G_HAVE_BOOL, if indeed your version of g++ has bool.)
hints/aix.sh
Updated. Handles AIX 3.2.x and 4.1. Comments included!
hints/hpux_9.sh
Updated.
hints/irix_4.sh
Updated. Includes comments for IRIX 4.0.4
hints/linux.sh
Updated. Beginnings of ELF support added, but completely
untested.
hints/mpeix.sh
New hint file.
hints/solaris_2.sh
Useless ccflags="$ccflags" line removed.
hints/svr4.sh
Updated.
installperl
Doesn't use Config anymore (it already reads config.sh
directly. That's probably backwards, but, oh well.
Install perl.exp for AIX.
lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
Upgraded from 4.01 to 4.03.
makedepend.SH
Use $MAKE instead of plain make.
Index: op.c
Remove overlapping strcpy().
perl.h
Add test for <sys/stat.h>.
Delete unused VOIDSIG stuff.
Delete unused typedef struct lstring Lstring;
perl_exp.SH
Add safexxxx calls.
pp_sys.c
Delete wayward break in HAS_ALARM section.
proto.h
Change true and false (!) in function prototypes to please
g++-2.6.3, which has true and false built in. (See notes for
handy.h.)
Index: unixish.h
Long-overdue housekeeping.
HAS_GROUP and HAS_PASSWD are always defined.
util.c
Yet another (char*) cast for bcmp.
vms/config.vms
Changed comments to match unixish.h.
writemain.SH
Now correctly handles nested static extensions. Recent
MakeMakers have moved where they get built.
x2p/a2p.h
More definitions that will doubtless cause trouble somewhere
else.
x2p/a2py.c
x2p/walk.c
Remove unprotected char *strchr();

This patch does the following things:
1. Fix various bonehead errors I introduced in patches a-g.
2. Incorporate MakeMaker changes to bring it up to version 4.01 (mostly).
3. Stick in things I forgot in patches a-g (e.g. AIX).
4. Some minor additional cleanup in x2p/ for even pickier compilers.
5. More hints updates (hpux and next).
6. Include newest dl_hpux.xs.
I didn't have time to
1. Fix the overlapping strcpy() in op.c
2. Restore h2xs to Larry's original design to process <>.
3. take out unnecessary "use Config" in installperl.
4. Add in vms patches.
I forgot to
[If I remembered what i forgot, I wouldn't have forgotten it. :]
I deliberately decided *not* to
1. Touch pod/*
2. deal with overloading
Specifically, here's what's included:
Configure
Regenerated to be sure it's up-to-date.
Makefile.SH
Build extension libraries right into lib/auto/whatever.
Don't set CCCDLFLAGS since we don't use it anyway.
Take care to avoid modifying lib/Config.pm without reason
Visit DynaLoader for `make clean'. (Previously only did
so for `make realclean'.)
@echo "Note that make realclean does not delete config.sh"
Include config.h dependency.
U/i_db.U
config_h.SH
config.H
Remove unwanted quotes around db_hashtype and db_prefixtype.
configpm
Allow specification of alternate name for lib/Config.pm,
so the makefile mv-if-diff trick saves needless re-making.
ext/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.pm
Updated warning messages and comments.
ext/DynaLoader/dl_hpux.xs
Updated to version 2.1. Now uses bootstrap files.
ext/util/make_ext
Explicitly use #!/bin/sh to start it up. This is useful
for testing make_ext.
Improve & simplify Nested::Extension::Processing.
More robust handling of `make clean'.
hints/hpux_9.sh
Support both the bundled and unbundled compilers.
hints/next_3_2.sh
Back to using -posix rather than POSIX_SOURCE. And that only
for ext/POSIX/POSIX.xs.
installperl
Special ranlib treatment for NeXT, which gets confused about
timestamps in libraries, even when you just copy the library.
Supply missing '$' in samepath() function.
lib/AutoSplit.pm
New parameters.
lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
Upgraded from 3.8 to 4.01.
lib/ExtUtils/xsubpp
Documentation changed from man to pod.
lib/Getopt/Long.pm
Avoid typo warning.
Drop unused $optx.
lib/Text/Tabs.pm
Fix package name.
makedepend.SH
Explicitly start with $startsh.
Catch cpp that prints # <stdin> instead of line numbers.
perl.h
Fix bonehead mistake that ended up calling my_fmod even if
not needed.
perl_exp.SH
also add symbols from interp.sym
proto.h
Delete 2 redundant prototypes (newBINOP and newUNOP).
util.c
Add (char *) casts to unsigned char args to bcmp.
x2p/a2p.h
Rearrange order of <string?.h> and bcopy & bzero stuff.
Change a few function prototypes to void, to reflect actual
usage.
x2p/a2py.c
Change a few function types to void, to reflect actual usage.
x2p/handy.h
Make *alloc declarations match those in x2p/util.c.
x2p/util.c
Make *alloc declarations match those in x2p/handy.h.
x2p/walk.c
Add a (Size_t) cast for comparison of 1 to the result of strlen().
Thanks to all who's work is included here. Little of it is mine.

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
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 :-(.

Here's the typical cleanup patch that follows any large
set of patches. My testing organization is either too large
or too small, depending on how you look at it, sigh...

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.

I tried to take the strlen of an integer on systems without wait4()
or waitpid(). For some reason this didn't work too well...
In hash.c there was a call to dbm_nextkey() which needed to be
ifdefed on old dbm systems.
A pattern such as /foo.*bar$/ was wrongly optimized to do
tail matching on "foo". This was a longstanding bug that
was unmasked by patch 36.
Some systems have some SYS V IPC but not all of it. Configure
now figures this out.
Patch 36 put the user's PATH in front of Configures, but to make
it work right I needed to change all calls of loc to ./loc in
Configure.
$cryptlib needed to be mentioned in the Makefile.
Apollo 10.3 and Sun 3.5 have some compilation problems, so I
mentioned them in README.
Cray has weird restrictions on setjmp locations--you can't say
if (result = setjmp(...))
Random typos and cleanup.

Certain systems, notable Ultrix, set the close-on-exec flag
by default on dup'ed file descriptors. This is anti-social
when you're creating a new STDOUT. The flag is now forced
off for STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR.
Some yaccs report 29 shift/reduce conflicts and 59 reduce/reduce
conflicts, while other yaccs and bison report 27 and 61. The
Makefile now says to expect either thing. I'm not sure if there's
a bug lurking there somewhere.
The defined(@array) and defined(%array) ended up defining
the arrays they were trying to determine the status of. Oops.
Using the status of NSIG to determine whether <signal.h> had
been included didn't work right on Xenix. A fix seems to be
beyond Configure at the moment, so we've got some OS dependent
#ifdefs in there.
There were some syntax errors in the new code to determine whether
it is safe to emulate rename() with unlink/link/unlink. Obviously
heavily tested code... :-)
Patch 27 introduced the possibility of using identifiers as
unquoted strings, but the code to warn against the use of
totally lowercase identifiers looped infinitely.
I documented that you can't interpolate $) or $| in pattern.
It was actually implied under s///, but it should have been
more explicit.
Patterns with {m} rather than {m,n} didn't work right.
Tests io.fs and op.stat had difficulties under AFS. They now
ignore the tests in question if they think they're running under
/afs.
The shift/reduce expectation message was off for a2p's Makefile.

A few of the new features: (18 Oct)
* Perl can now handle binary data correctly and has functions to pack and unpack binary structures into arrays or lists. You can now do arbitrary ioctl functions.
* You can now pass things to subroutines by reference.
* Debugger enhancements.
* An array or associative array may now appear in a local() list.
* Array values may now be interpolated into strings.
* Subroutine names are now distinguished by prefixing with &. You can call subroutines without using do, and without passing any argument list at all.
* You can use the new -u switch to cause perl to dump core so that you can run undump and produce a binary executable image. Alternately you can use the "dump" operator after initializing any variables and such.
* You can now chop lists.
* Perl now uses /bin/csh to do filename globbing, if available. This means that filenames with spaces or other strangenesses work right.
* New functions: mkdir and rmdir, getppid, getpgrp and setpgrp, getpriority and setpriority, chroot, ioctl and fcntl, flock, readlink, lstat, rindex, pack and unpack, read, warn, dbmopen and dbmclose, dump, reverse, defined, undef.

Some of the enhancements from Perl1 included:
* New regexp routines derived from Henry Spencer's.
o Support for /(foo|bar)/.
o Support for /(foo)*/ and /(foo)+/.
o \s for whitespace, \S for non-, \d for digit, \D nondigit
* Local variables in blocks, subroutines and evals.
* Recursive subroutine calls are now supported.
* Array values may now be interpolated into lists: unlink 'foo', 'bar', @trashcan, 'tmp';
* File globbing.
* Use of <> in array contexts returns the whole file or glob list.
* New iterator for normal arrays, foreach, that allows both read and write.
* Ability to open pipe to a forked off script for secure pipes in setuid scripts.
* File inclusion via do 'foo.pl';
* More file tests, including -t to see if, for instance, stdin is a terminal. File tests now behave in a more correct manner. You can do file tests on filehandles as well as filenames. The special filetests -T and -B test a file to see if it's text or binary.
* An eof can now be used on each file of the <> input for such purposes as resetting the line numbers or appending to each file of an inplace edit.
* Assignments can now function as lvalues, so you can say things like ($HOST = $host) =~ tr/a-z/A-Z/; ($obj = $src) =~ s/\.c$/.o/;
* You can now do certain file operations with a variable which holds the name of a filehandle, e.g. open(++$incl,$includefilename); $foo = <$incl>;
* Warnings are now available (with -w) on use of uninitialized variables and on identifiers that are mentioned only once, and on reference to various undefined things.
* There is now a wait operator.
* There is now a sort operator.
* The manual is now not lying when it says that perl is generally faster than sed. I hope.

I didn't add an eval operator to the original perl because
I hadn't thought of any good uses for it. Recently I thought
of some. Along with creating the eval operator, this patch
introduces a symbolic debugger for perl scripts, which makes
use of eval to interpret some debugging commands. Having eval
also lets me emulate awk's FOO=bar command line behavior with
a line such as the one a2p now inserts at the beginning of
translated scripts.

[ Perl is kind of designed to make awk and sed semi-obsolete. This posting
will include the first 10 patches after the main source. The following
description is lifted from Larry's manpage. --r$ ]
Perl is a interpreted language optimized for scanning arbitrary text
files, extracting information from those text files, and printing
reports based on that information. It's also a good language for many
system management tasks. The language is intended to be practical
(easy to use, efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny,
elegant, minimal). It combines (in the author's opinion, anyway) some
of the best features of C, sed, awk, and sh, so people familiar with
those languages should have little difficulty with it. (Language
historians will also note some vestiges of csh, Pascal, and even
BASIC-PLUS.) Expression syntax corresponds quite closely to C
expression syntax. If you have a problem that would ordinarily use sed
or awk or sh, but it exceeds their capabilities or must run a little
faster, and you don't want to write the silly thing in C, then perl may
be for you. There are also translators to turn your sed and awk
scripts into perl scripts.
