 This file documents the changes made to port Perl to the Stratus
 VOS operating system.
 
+For 5.7:
+     Updated "build.cm" to build perl using either the alpha or GA
+          version of POSIX.
+     Updated "Changes".
+     Updated "compile_perl.cm" to use either the alpha or GA
+          version of POSIX.
+     Split "config.def" into config.alpha.def and config.ga.def;
+          one for each version. Use the configure_perl.cm macro
+          to select the appropriate version.
+     Split "config.h" into config.alpha.h and config.ga.h. Use the
+          configure_perl.cm macro to select the appropriate version.
+     Updated "config.pl". It now diagnoses undefined (missing) and
+          unused substitution variables. When a new version of
+          Perl comes out, run "configure_perl.cm", add any missing
+          definitions to config.*.def, and remove any unused
+          definitions.
+     Removed "config_h.SH_orig". It is no longer needed.
+     Added "configure_perl.cm". It is used to configure perl so that
+          it can be built with either version of VOS POSIX.1 support.
+     Added "install_perl.cm" to install Perl into the appropriate
+          system directories.
+     Updated "perl.bind" to work with either the alpha or GA
+          version of POSIX.
+     Updated "vosish.h" to just use the standard "unixish.h" since
+          there are no changes needed at this time.
+
 After 5.005_63:
      Supplied "config.pl" perl script that takes "config_h.SH_orig"
           and "config.def" as input and produces "config.h.new".
