compartment. As a result, the return string was not initialized.
A complete example of a mini-application added to OS2::REXX.
README.os2 updated to reflect the current state of Perl.
+
+pre 5.6.2:
+ aout build: kid bootstrap_* were not associated with XS.
+ bldlevel did not contain enough info.
+ extLibpath* was failing on the call of the second type.
+ Configure defines flushNULL now (EMX -Zomf bug broke autodetection).
+ Configure did not find SIGBREAK.
+ extLibpath supports LIBSTRICT, better error detection.
+ crypt() used if present in -lcrypt or -lufc.
+ dumb getpw*(), getgr*() etc. supported; as in EMX, but if no
+ $ENV{PW_PASSWD}, the passwd field contains a string which
+ cannot be returned by crypt() (for security reasons).
+ The unwound recursion in detecting executable by script was
+ using static buffers. Thus system('pod2text') would fail if the
+ current directory contained an empty file named 'perl'.
+ Put ordinals in the base DLL.
+ Enable EXE-compression.
+ Load time (ms): Without /e:2: 70.6; With /e:2: 75.3; Lxlite: 62.8
+ Size drops from 750K to 627K, with lxlite to 515K.
+ lxlite /c:max gives 488K, but dumps core in t/TEST
+ os2ish.h defines SYSLOG constants ==> Sys::Syslog works.
+ Corrected warnings related to OS/2 code.
+ At one place = was put instead of ==.
+ Setting $^E should work.
+ Force "SYS0dddd=0xbar: " to error messages and to dlerror().
+ ($^E == 2 printed SYS0002 itself, but 110 did not.)
+ $OS2::nsyserror=0 switches off forcing SYSdddd on $^E.
+ perl_.exe does not require PM dlls any more (symbols resolved at
+ runtime on the as needed basis).
+ OS2::Process:
+ get/set: term size; codepages; screen's cursor; screen's contents
+ reliable session name setting;
+ process's parent pid, and the session id;
+ switching to and enumeration of sessions
+ window hierarchy inspection
+ post a message to a window
+ More robust getpriority() on older Warps.
