1 | after 5.003_05: |
| 2 | PERLLIB_PREFIX was not active if it matches an element of @INC |
| 3 | as a whole. |
| 4 | Do not need PERL_SBRK if crtdll-revision is >= 50. |
| 5 | Use -Zsmall-conv if crtdll-revision is >= 50 (in static perl!). |
| 6 | :7: warning: #warning <dirent.h> requires <sys/types.h> |
| 7 | We compile miniperl static. It cannot fork, thus there may be |
| 8 | problems with pipes (since HAS_FORK is in |
| 9 | place). Pipes are required by makemaker. |
| 10 | We compile perl___.exe A.OUT and dynamic. It should be able to |
| 11 | fork. |
| 12 | If we can fork, we my_popen by popen unless "-|". Thus we |
| 13 | write a cooky "-1" into the pid array to indicate |
| 14 | this. |
| 15 | Apparently we can fork, and we can load dynamic extensions |
| 16 | now, though probably not simultaneously. |
| 17 | *DB tests corrected for OS/2 one-user stat[2]. |
| 18 | /bin/sh is intercepted and replaced by SH_PATH. |
| 19 | Note that having '\\' in the command line of one-arg `system' |
| 20 | would trigger call via shell. |
| 21 | Segfault with system {'ls'} 'blah'; corrected. |
| 22 | Documentation of OS/2-different features added to main PODs. |

| 25 | Cwd::current_drive |
| 26 | Cwd::sys_chdir - leaves drive as it is. |
| 27 | Cwd::change_drive |
| 28 | Cwd::sys_is_absolute - has drive letter and is_rooted |

| 30 | after a drive) |
| 31 | Cwd::sys_is_relative - changes with current dir |
| 32 | Cwd::sys_cwd - Interface to cwd from EMX. |
| 33 | Cwd::sys_abspath(name, dir) |
| 34 | - Really really odious |
| 35 | function. Returns absolute |
| 36 | name of file which would |
| 37 | have 'name' if CWD were 'dir'. |
| 38 | Dir defaults to the current dir. |
| 39 | Cwd::extLibpath [type] - Get/set current value of extended |
| 40 | Cwd::extLibpath_set - library search path. |
| 41 | path [type] |
| 42 | The optional last argument redirects |
| 43 | to END-path if true, |
| 44 | default is to search BEGIN-path. |
| 45 | (Note that some of these may be moved to different |

| 48 | perl - can fork, can dynalink (but not simultaneously) |
| 49 | perl_ - can fork, cannot dynalink |
| 50 | perl__ - same as perl___, but PM. |
| 51 | perl___ - cannot fork, can dynalink. |
| 52 | The build of the first one - perl - is rather convoluted, and |

| 108 | after 5.003_07: |
| 109 | custom tmpfile and tmpname which may use $TMP, $TEMP. |
| 110 | all the calls to OS/2 API wrapped so that it is safe to use |
| 111 | them under DOS (may die(), though). |
| 112 | Tested that popen works under DOS with modified PDKSH and RSX. |
| 113 | File::Copy works under DOS. |
| 114 | MakeMaker modified to work under DOS (perlmain.c.tmp and sh -c true). |

115 | |
| 116 | after 5.003_08: |
| 117 | OS2::PrfDB exports symbols as documented; |
| 118 | should work on OS/2 2.1 again. |
| 119 | uses reliable signals when spawing. |
| 120 | do not use popen() any more - no intermediate shell unless needed. |

121 | |
| 122 | after 5.003_11: |
| 123 | Functions emx_{malloc,realloc,calloc,free} are exported from DLL. |
| 124 | get_sysinfo() bugs corrected (flags were not used and wrongly defined). |

125 | |
| 126 | after 5.003_20: |
| 127 | _isterm is substituted instead of isatty, s?random instead of srand. |
| 128 | `register' disabled if -DDEBUGGING and not AOUT build: stupid SD386. |
| 129 | 3-argument select() was stomping over memory. |

130 | |
| 131 | after 5.003_21: |
| 132 | Can start scripts by executing 'dir/script' and |
| 133 | 'script.sh'. Form without extension will call shell only if |
| 134 | the specified file exists (will not look on path) (to prohibit |
| 135 | trying to run shell commands directly). - Needed by magic.t. |

136 | |
| 137 | after 5.003_27: |
| 138 | ALTERNATE_SHEBANG="extproc " supported, thus options on this |
| 139 | line are processed (possibly twice). -S is made legal on such |
| 140 | a line. This -S -x is not needed any more. |
| 141 | perl.dll may be used from non-EMX programs (via PERL_SYS_INIT |
| 142 | - the caller should have valid variable "env" with |
| 143 | environment). Known problems: $$ does not work - is 0, waitpid |
| 144 | returns immediately, thus Perl cannot wait for completion of |
| 145 | started programs. |

147 | after 5.004_01: |
| 148 | flock emulation added (disable by setting env PERL_USE_FLOCK=0), |
| 149 | thanks to Rocco Caputo; |
| 150 | RSX bug with missing waitpid circomvented; |
| 151 | -S bug with full path with \ corrected. |
| 152 | |
| d8c2d278 |
153 | before 5.004_02: |
| 154 | -S switch to perl enables a search with additional extensions |
| 155 | .cmd, .btm, .bat, .pl as well. This means that if you have |
| 156 | mycmd.pl or mycmd.bat on PATH, |
| 157 | perl -S mycmd |
| 158 | will work. Perl will also look in the current directory first. |
| 159 | Moreover, a bug with \; in PATH being non-separator is fixed. |

161 | after 5.004_03: |
| 162 | $^E tracks calls to CRT now. (May break if Perl masks some |
| 163 | changes to errno?) |
| 164 | $0 may be edited to longer lengths (at least under OS/2). |
| 165 | OS2::REXX->loads looks in the OS/2-ish fashion too. |

166 | |
| 167 | after 5.004_53: |
| 168 | Minimal thread support added. One needs to manually move pthread.h |
