----------------
+Version 5.003_06
+----------------
+This patch was primarily to fix bugs, improve the documentation,
+and work towards restoring binary compatibility with 5.003.
+The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
+
+o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
+
+ -Significantly improved support _with documentation_ for
+ locales, including LC_COLLATE. See the new pod/perli18n.pod.
+ Thanks to Jarkkko Hietaniemi.
+
+ -new version of Math::Complex, with test suite. Ought to be
+ backwards compatible, but check it out if you use Math::Complex.
+
+ -Pre-extending hashes now works. keys %hash = 5000 will pre-size
+ %hash.
+
+ -__DATA__ filehandle is untainted.
+
+o Changes in Core Internals
+
+ -gv_fullname and gv_efullname have reverted to their pre-5.003_03
+ versions for binary compatibility. Actually, they are implemented
+ as stubs pointing to the new 3-argument forms gv_fullname3 and
+ gv_efullname3.
+
+ -Perl's malloc is once again called 'Mymalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
+ as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
+ with 5.003.
+
+o Configure and build enhancements
+
+ -many new tests for the standard library.
+
+ -test suite now locale-friendly.
+
+ -a2p.man and s2p.man now made into pods.
+
+o Bug fixes
+
+ -whitespace lexer errors fixed.
+
+ -many, many other things. See details below.
+
+o Specific Changes
+
+Here are the specific file-by-file changes.

+
+This is patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl version 5.003_05.
+This takes you from 5.003_05 to 5.003_06.
+
+To apply this patch, run the above commands,
+cd to your perl source directory and then type
+
+ patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_06.pat
+
+The changes are described after each /^Index:/ line below. This is
+designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
+
+ csplit -k perl5.003_06.pat '/^Index:/' '{999}'
+
+(Of course, since there are more than 100 Index entries, your
+csplit may complain, since many csplit's have an arbitrary limit of 100
+files. Still, you can manually split the file or roll your own.)
+
+Patch and enjoy,

+
+ Here is a patch for various typos and other defects in the Perl
+ 5.003_05 pods, including the pods embedded in library modules.
+
+ Bugs found in pod2man
+
+ The following bugs were noticed, and some fixed:
+
+ 1. Where a L<> link extends over more than one line, pod2man does not
+ treat it as a link but displays it literally, and so these have been
+ rearranged to place the link on one line. This is the only bug worked
+ around. [Fixed; the rearrangements, which were done beforehand,
+ remain in some cases, but are no longer necessary, and pod paragraphs
+ can now be safely reformatted to whatever width is desired in the pod,
+ without breaking links.]
+
+ 2. It seems to swallow spaces after certain links: for example, part
+ of the "open" entry in the perlfunc manpage comes out as "the
+ \f(CWbinmode\fR entry elsewhere in this documentfor tips", the source
+ having been "L</binmode> for tips". [Fixed.]
+
+ 3. 'L</"Pass by Reference">', in perlsub.pod, comes out as '\fI/"Pass
+ by Reference\fR', that is, with an initial '/"'.
+
+ 4. If a pod line begins with ".", nothing is done to prevent [tng]roff
+ from treating it as a [tng]roff instruction.
+
+ 5. When the paragraph below =head1 NAME has more than one line, this
+ confuses pod2man: so in the case of Term::Readline, the manpage begins
+ with a stray line 'no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead
+ of basic functions."'.
+
+ Of course, it would be better to fix pod2man; I hope that the new Pod
+ modules, when ready, will not have these defects.

+ Subject: Patch to patch for untainting
+
+ The following patch ensures that a glob used as a filehandle that
+ has had the UNTAINT flag set will not carry that flag over on a
+ re-open. In a nutshell, a re-open of the DATA filehandle would be
+ considered untainted, and an object of class IO::Handle (or one of
+ its sub-classes) that is marked untainted with the untaint method,
+ then closed and re-opened, retained the untaintedness.

+
+ I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used
+ to postpone the delete of a entry that may be getting iterated over).
+ I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is
+ needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical
+ hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags.
+
+ Here's a tested patch against 5.00305 that fixes the problem.

+ This patch adds a IOf_UNTAINT flag in sv.h, as one of the possibles
+ on an xpvio->xio_flags struct member. It is used to mark the given
+ file handle as a clean source, even when tainting is turned on.
+ There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag
+ before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same
+ reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on
+ on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA
+ pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so
+ this should not introduce any insecurity.
+
+ This patch *does not*:
+
+ * Add the "untaint" keyword.

o Visible Changes to Core Functionality

-
+
-times function now uses CLK_TCK if HZ is not available, rather
than just defaulting to 60. times output might change on some
systems, but should be correct now.

BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
[gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.
-

-You can now build a shared libperl.so without running through
the LD_RUN_PATH hoops, if your system supports appropriate
ld command-line options. Solaris, NetBSD, and Linux are currently
for embedders.)

-Fix installperl and installman so that the -n option really only
prints commands. (previously, it would still do the mkdirs.)
