This is my patch patch.1n for perl5.001.

This is my patch  patch.1n  for perl5.001.

To apply, change to your perl directory, run the command above, then
apply with
    patch -p1 -N  < thispatch.

This is a consolidation patch.  It contains many of the most commonly
applied or agreed-to patches that have been circulating since
patch.1m.

It also changes the 'unofficial patchlevel' in perl.c.

There are some problems (see items marked with '***').
I will attempt to address those in a patch.1o in a few days.

This patch contains the following packages:

    My Jumbo Configure patch vs. 1m, with subsequent patches 1, 2, and 3.
    Mainly, this provides easier use of local libraries, documents
    the installation process in a new INSTALL file, moves important
    questions towards the beginning, and improves detection of
    signal names (mostly for Linux).

    xsubpp-1.922.
