This file documents the changes made to port Perl to the Stratus
VOS operating system.
+For 5.8.9:
+ Updated vos hints file (vos.sh) to use the POSIX-2001
+ standard and to recognize the V Series architecture of
+ i786. Cleaned-up a few issues so that more tests pass.
+ This version builds on VOS Release 15.3.0.
+
+For 5.10.0:
+ Added support for the syslog family of functions to vos.c.
+ This allows the source code to be built on versions of VOS
+ that do not support the syslog functions.
+
+For 5.9.0:
+ Removed support for building (mini) perl on VOS using
+ custom VOS command macros. Henceforth, perl must be built
+ using the native Configure script.
+
+For 5.8.4:
+ Updated "config.alpha.def", "config.ga.def", "build.cm" and
+ "perl.bind" to build this version of perl.
+
+For 5.8.0:
+ Updated "config.alpha.def", "config.ga.def", "build.cm", and
+ "install_perl.cm" to use directory naming conventions that
+ are closer to the perl standard directory names.
+
+ Added "compile_full_perl.cm", "configure_full_perl.sh" and
+ "make_full_perl.sh" for building full perl.
+
+ For the first time, full perl can now be built on VOS using
+ its native Configure script and makefiles. See README.vos
+ for details.
+
+For 5.7.1:
+ Updated "build.cm" and "compile_perl.cm" to build perl using
+ either cc or gcc.
+ Brought "config.alpha.def" and "config.ga.def" up-to-date.
+ Updated "configure_perl.cm" to rebuild the header file even if
+ the date of the definitions file is equal to the date of
+ the header, because the perl distribution resets all dates
+ to the same value.
+ Update "Changes".
+ Update "perl.bind".
+
For 5.7:
Updated "build.cm" to build perl using either the alpha or GA
version of POSIX.
