+----------------
+Version 5.003_20
+----------------
+
+The only language change in this release is the recension of support
+for named closures: Now, no subroutine declared "sub foo {}" can be
+a closure. (This is a return to the behavior of 5.003.) In addition,
+there are new warnings triggered by any apparent attempt to use named
+functions as closures.
+
+And, as usual, there are the usual little fixes, documentation
+updates, and expanded tests. This is good stuff. "I love you, man!"

+----------------
+
+Lots of internal cleanup in this patch, especially plugged memory
+leaks when embedded Perl interpreters shut down and restart. The
+method cache is now invisible to user code. And there is a new test
+directory, "t/pragma".
+
+IMHO, this is Beta quality code.
+
+Here's a list of the more significant changes...

+ Title: "Defined scoping for C<my> in control structures"
+ (Finally defines semantics of "my" in control expressions,
+ like the condition of "if" and "while". In all cases, scope
+ of a "my" var extends to the end of the entire control
+ structure. Also adds new construct "for my", which
+ automatically declares the control variable "my" and limits

+----------------
+Version 5.003_07
+----------------
+
+This patch was primarily to fix bugs or include little things I missed
+in 5.003_06. 5.003_07 is intended to be stable enough to merit serious
+testing with an eye towards eventual release as 5.004.
+
+If it doesn't work for you, try
+
+ LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL
+
+for Bourne shell users, or
+
+ setenv LC_ALL C
+
+for C-shell users. Some versions of IRIX are reported to have
+problems with sort when the locale is other than C. This manifests
+as an infinite loop in the ./miniperl configpm step.
+
+The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
+
+o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
+
+ -Support for BER compressed integers. See perlfunc.pod for
+ documentation on the 'w' option.
+
+ -untaint support added to IO extension.
+
+o Changes in Core Internals
+
+ -Perl's realloc is once again called 'Myremalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
+ as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
+ with 5.003. (5.003_06 erroneously called it Myrealloc.)
+
+ -Getopt::Long updated to version 2.4.
+
+o Configure and build enhancements
+
+ -improved SCO hints. Actually these are unconfirmed guesses, but
+ they may be right.
+
+ -OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
+
+o Bug fixes
+
+ -print sort (4,1,3,2);
+
+ -group numbers are integers again.
+
+ -other things. See the specific changes for details.
+
+o Specific Changes
+
+Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
+
+Index: Changes
+
+ Updated for 5.003_07.
+
+ Fixed a spelling error.
+
+Index: Configure
+
+ Detect GNU libc (thanks, Skimo!) and avoid nm if we have GNU libc.
+ Since the GNU libc test requires compiling and linking a test
+ program, the dependencies have been altered and lots of pieces of
+ Configure have moved around unchanged. The patch is big but the
+ effect is little.
+
+ Allow for both <sys/select.h> and <time.h> in fd_set tests.
+ Systems which don't allow both (e.g. SCO) have to turn off one
+ or the other in the hints file for now.
+
+Index: INSTALL

+ Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version
+
+ This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in
+ IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object
+ that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from
+ said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid.
+
+ This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the
+ pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and
+ adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST.
+
+ Add mention of t/lib/io_taint.t

+
+ This broke between 5.001n and 5.002. There was a long winded thread
+ about sorting undefs in some order (rather than coredumping) around
+ the 5.002beta times (search for "bogorefs" in the subject-line on
+ p5p archive for details). Larry added in some code that presumes that
+ the private flags are set by the time qsort() is called:
+
+ Unfortunately, sv_2pv() does not set the POKp flag, so the above
+ code breaks! Here's a patch against 5.00306.

+
+ This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in
+ IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object
+ that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from
+ said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid.
+
+ This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the
+ pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and
+ adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST.

+----------------
+Version 5.003_06
+----------------
+This patch was primarily to fix bugs, improve the documentation,
+and work towards restoring binary compatibility with 5.003.
+The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
+
+o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
+
+ -Significantly improved support _with documentation_ for
+ locales, including LC_COLLATE. See the new pod/perli18n.pod.
+ Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi.
+
+ -new version of Math::Complex, with test suite. Ought to be
+ backwards compatible, but check it out if you use Math::Complex.
+
+ -Pre-extending hashes now works. keys %hash = 5000 will pre-size
+ %hash.
+
+ -__DATA__ filehandle is untainted.
+
+o Changes in Core Internals
+
+ -gv_fullname and gv_efullname have reverted to their pre-5.003_03
+ versions for binary compatibility. Actually, they are implemented
+ as stubs pointing to the new 3-argument forms gv_fullname3 and
+ gv_efullname3.
+
+ -Perl's malloc is once again called 'Mymalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
+ as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
+ with 5.003.
+
+o Configure and build enhancements
+
+ -many new tests for the standard library.
+
+ -test suite now locale-friendly.
+
+ -a2p.man and s2p.man now made into pods.
+
+o Bug fixes
+
+ -whitespace lexer errors fixed.
+
+ -many, many other things. See details below.
+
+o Specific Changes
+
+Here are the specific file-by-file changes.

+This takes you from 5.003_05 to 5.003_06.
+
+To apply this patch, run the above commands,

+
+ patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_06.pat
+
+The changes are described after each /^Index:/ line below. This is
+designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
+
+ csplit -k perl5.003_06.pat '/^Index:/' '{999}'
+
+(Of course, since there are more than 100 Index entries, your
+csplit may complain, since many csplit's have an arbitrary limit of 100
+files. Still, you can manually split the file or roll your own.)

+Patch and enjoy,

+
+ I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used
+ to postpone the delete of a entry that may be getting iterated over).
+ I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is
+ needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical
+ hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags.
+
+ Here's a tested patch against 5.00305 that fixes the problem.
+ The patch simply moves the LAZYDEL hint to become a SV-level private
+ flag.

+
+ The effect is to remove the CHAR_* and I8_* constants (which are

+
+ Here is a patch for various typos and other defects in the Perl
+ 5.003_05 pods, including the pods embedded in library modules.
+
+ Bugs found in pod2man
+
+ The following bugs were noticed, and some fixed:
+
+ 1. Where a L<> link extends over more than one line, pod2man does not
+ treat it as a link but displays it literally, and so these have been
+ rearranged to place the link on one line. This is the only bug worked
+ around. [Fixed; the rearrangements, which were done beforehand,
+ remain in some cases, but are no longer necessary, and pod paragraphs
+ can now be safely reformatted to whatever width is desired in the pod,
+ without breaking links.]
+
+ 2. It seems to swallow spaces after certain links: for example, part
+ of the "open" entry in the perlfunc manpage comes out as "the
+ \f(CWbinmode\fR entry elsewhere in this documentfor tips", the source
+ having been "L</binmode> for tips". [Fixed.]
+
+ 3. 'L</"Pass by Reference">', in perlsub.pod, comes out as '\fI/"Pass
+ by Reference\fR', that is, with an initial '/"'.
+
+ 4. If a pod line begins with ".", nothing is done to prevent [tng]roff
+ from treating it as a [tng]roff instruction.
+
+ 5. When the paragraph below =head1 NAME has more than one line, this
+ confuses pod2man: so in the case of Term::Readline, the manpage begins
+ with a stray line 'no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead
+ of basic functions."'.
+
+ Of course, it would be better to fix pod2man; I hope that the new Pod
+ modules, when ready, will not have these defects.

+ Subject: Patch to patch for untainting
+
+ The following patch ensures that a glob used as a filehandle that
+ has had the UNTAINT flag set will not carry that flag over on a
+ re-open. In a nutshell, a re-open of the DATA filehandle would be
+ considered untainted, and an object of class IO::Handle (or one of
+ its sub-classes) that is marked untainted with the untaint method,
+ then closed and re-opened, retained the untaintedness.

+ Subject: h2xs bug fix
+
+ The h2xs that is in perl5.003_05 has a regexp bug which prevents it from
+ finding #define statements and filling the constant() function. This patch
+ fixes that. The h2xs_test program found this--maybe people who are
+ modifying h2xs should get a copy of the test program.
+
+ This also adds a -d to enable debugging messages (there's just one for now).
+ I've also placed some of the doc-related things in alphabetical order.
+
+ h2xs_test can be found in my directory on CPAN. Those of you modifying
+ xsubpp should know there's a test suite for that, too, called XSTEST which
+ can also be found in my directory on CPAN.

Version 5.003_05
----------------
o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
-Add support for a READLINE method to tied filehandles.
-
+
-times function now uses CLK_TCK if HZ is not available, rather
than just defaulting to 60. times output might change on some
systems, but should be correct now.
-Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
[gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.
-
+
-You can now build a shared libperl.so without running through
the LD_RUN_PATH hoops, if your system supports appropriate
ld command-line options. Solaris, NetBSD, and Linux are currently
for embedders.)
-VMS updates.
-
+
-Fix installperl and installman so that the -n option really only
prints commands. (previously, it would still do the mkdirs.)
Updated to match Configure.
- Changed the DLSYM_NEEDS_UNDERSCORE comment to

-perl library name is again -lperl, not -lperl5 in some cases.
-Several hint files no longer set -g -DDEBUGGING by default.
Instead, they just turn off optimization, since that is
