                is void.
        New executables perl___<number> generated with decreased stack size
                (good when virtual memory is low; e.g. floppy boot).
+
+After 5.8.2 (@21668):
+       Fixes to installperl scripts to avoid junk output, allow overwrite
+               of existing files (File::Copy::copy is mapped to DosCopy()
+               with flags which would not overwrite).
+       Disable DynaLoading of Perl modules with AOUT build (will core anyway).
+       For AOUT build: Quick hack to construct directories necessary for
+               /*/% stuff [maybe better do it from hints/os2.sh?].
+       AOUT build: do -D__ST_MT_ERRNO__ to simplify linking with -Zmtd
+               (e.g., to test GD: gd.dll linked with -Zmtd).
+       MANIFEST.SKIP was read without a drive part of the filename.
+       Rename Cwd::extLibpath*() to OS2::... (old names still preserved).
+       Install perl.lib and perl.a too.
+       New methods libPath_find(),has_f32(),handle(),fullname() for OS2::DLL.
+       Enable quad support using long long.
+       New C exported functions os2_execname(), async_mssleep(), msCounter(),
+               InfoTable(), dir_subst(), Perl_OS2_handler_install(),
+               fill_extLibpath().
+       async_mssleep() uses some undocumented features which allow usage of
+               highest possible resolution of sleep() while preserving low
+               priority (raise of resolution may be not available before
+               Warp3fp40; resolution is 8ms/CLOCK_SCALE).
+               usleep() and select(undef,undef,undef,$t) are using this
+               interface for time up to 0.5sec.
+       New convenience macros os2win_croak_0OK(rc,msg), os2win_croak(rc,msg),
+               os2cp_croak(rc,msg).
+       Supports ~installprefix, ~exe, ~dll in PERLLIB_PREFIX etc (actual
+               directories are substituted).
+       New functions OS2::msCounter(), OS2::ms_sleep(), OS2::_InfoTable().
+       Checks stack when fixing EMX being under-initialized (-Zomf -Zsys
+               produces 32K stack???).
+       New environment variables PERL_BEGINLIBPATH, PERL_PRE_BEGINLIBPATH,
+               PERL_POST_BEGINLIBPATH, PERL_ENDLIBPATH, 
+               PERL_PRE_ENDLIBPATH PERL_POST_ENDLIBPATH (~-enabled);
+               PERL_EMXLOAD_SECS.
+       Better handling of FIRST_MAKEFILE (propagate to subdirs during test,
+               do not require Makefile.PL present).
+       perl2cmd converter: do not rewrite if no change.
+       README.os2 updated with info on building binary distributions and
+               custom perl executables (but not much else).
