Subject: Re: pre extending hash? - need speed

The patch below (which is relative to perl5.001l) implements
"keys %hash = 50_000;" (or other integer-evaluable sizes) for
pre-sizing hashes.  I've only moved the patch forward from
when I first did it.  I'm sure the code in hv_ksplit could be
improved.

Subject: VMS patches to 5.003_05

  I've added some DEBUG_Ps to sv.c which give a trace of the
  fast I/O fiddling with stdio in sv_gets().  These were useful
  to me in setting up the VMS fast I/O, and I left them in in
  case they're useful to someone in the future.  However, if you
  think it overloads -DP too much, feel free to drop it.  (-DP
  already adds a profile of op usage to its advertised output.)

Subject: LC_COLLATE.

Big patch to add, document, and test LC_COLLATE support.

sv_cmp() sprouted a LC_COLLATE branch.
