+The F<pod/perltodo.pod> file contains a roughly-catgorized unordered list of
aspects of Perl that could use enhancement, features that could be
added, areas that could be cleaned up, and so on. During your term as
pumpkin-holder, you will probably address some of these issues, and
can find champions for partiticular issues on the to-do list: an issue
owned is an issue more likely to be resolved.

Given that it's already there, you can use it to override distribution modules.
One way to do that is to add
- ccflags="$ccflags -DAPPLLIB_EXP='"/my/override"'
+ ccflags="$ccflags -DAPPLLIB_EXP=\"/my/override\""
to your config.over file. (You have to be particularly careful to get the

+double quotes in. APPLLIB_EXP must be a valid C string. It might
+actually be easier to just #define it yourself in perl.c.)
Then perl.c will put /my/override ahead of ARCHLIB and PRIVLIB. Perl will
also search architecture-specific and version-specific subdirectories of
casual users crazy. Even experienced users will get confused :-). Upon
reflection, I'd say leave libperl.so in $archlib.

+Over the years Perl has become a mishmash of
various indentation styles, but the original "Larry style" can
probably be restored with (GNU) indent somewhat like this:
places like sv.c:Perl_sv_upgrade() or sv.c:Perl_clone_using().
Similarly nicely aligned &&s, ||s and ==s would not be respected.
