This is patch.2gamma to perl5.002 beta3.
This takes you from 5.002beta3 to 5.002gamma.

To apply this patch, run the above commands, then
cd to your perl source directory and then type

        patch -p1 -N < patch.2gamma

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 patch.2gamma '/^Index:/' '{99}'

(Of course since there are 116 items and most csplit's have an
arbitrary limit of 100 files, you'll probably have to manually split
this file first, but you get the idea.  (GNU csplit doesn't have this
limitation.  Nor does a perl solution, of course.))

[editor's note: no patch file was found for this release, so no
fine-grained changes]

I can't find the password for our ftp server, so I had to drop it into
ftp://ftp.sems.com/pub/incoming/perl5.002b3.tar.gz, which is a drop
directory you can't ls.

The current plan is that Andy is gonna whack on this a little more, and
then release a gamma in a few days when he's happy with it.  So don't get
carried away.  This is now *late* beta.

In other words, have less than the appropriate amount of fun.  :-)

perl 5.002beta1h patch: MANIFEST

Rearrange files some.  Try to move .PL utilities to a separate
utils/ subdirectory.

Merge c2ph.PL and c2ph.doc.

Add the Safe extension.

Document how to skip various extensions.

Indicate that site_perl is typically under (not beside)
/usr/local/lib/perl5.

Mention how to avoid nm extraction.

perl 5.002beta1h patch: Configure

Upgraded to metaconfig patchlevel 60.

Add in usesafe variable to include or exclude the Safe extension.

Test for sigaction().

Check for pager.  This was actually accidental since perldoc.PL
mentions $pager and metaconfig has a unit to check for the
user's pager.  In retrospect, I decided the Configure check
didn't do any harm and some extension writers might decide to
use it.

Always put man1dir under $prefix unless a command line
override is used.

Allow command-line overrides of $man1ext and $man3ext.

Allow man1dir and man3dir names like .../man.1 instead of
just .../man1.

Lots of rearrangements of various pieces of Configure.
This might be because I ran metaconfig on a different
architecture.

libc searching now honors $libpth.  Previously, it (almost)
always looked in /usr/lib before checking /lib.

Only prompt user if voidflags is not 15.  If voidflags is 15, then
we presume all is well.

This is patch.2b1e to perl5.002beta1.  This is simply

Here are Andreas' notes:

MakeMaker 5.11 is only half a step forward.

It fixes the most urgent problems and includes a few new subroutines
from Ilya's pen without actually using them. It does not yet install
into sitelib. It does not write a .packlist file anymore (this is a
transitory non-solution, I will try to replace the .packlist
computation by a safer replacement).

But it does fix the known bugs: extralibs was wrong, link() was called
on systems without link(), manpages for man1dir were installed
completely wrong, if xsubpp was too old we reached a runtime error,
libg++ could not be handled because of a missing \Q, xsubpp was called
with -noprototypes per default. A few installation directories didn't
keep up with the defaults from 5.002 when used with PREFIX.

I apologize for unresolved issues, especially with regard to Ilya's
changes, but I prefer to have one thing done before I try the next
changes.

Get it from CPAN/authors/id/ANDK/MakeMaker-5.11.tar.gz

The testing I have done is limited, because perl5.002b1d has problems
with some newXS calls. So extensions where I had to use xubpp could
not be compiled here. Wherever I had already run xsubpp, everything
seemed ok.

I append the Changes file below.

andreas

          Installation of files to INST_MAN1DIR was missing a
          $self->catdir and a dot between the filename and the
          MAN1EXT.

          There was a rare problem with the .packlist file: The
          .packlist entries are appended to the .packlist file in
          INST_ARCHAUTOLIB. The file is rewritten later to contain
          only unique entries. For the rewriting of the file I used
          perl -i.bak. That's not ok for AFS and dies if the .packlist
          file doesn't exist for any other reason.  THIS PROBLEM IS
          NOT YET RESOLVED. I have dropped support for .packlist until
          I have a nice fix for this.

          Don Jackson saw this on his sun4-sunos box.

          Was a precedence bug, solved.

          Ilya sent a big patch for OS2. It was a bit complicated to
          fold it in, so I included only the easy changes, and would
          like to reconsider the thing, when there is a bit more time
          and less pressure. All the new methods are included, but not
          yet used, so the next patch will be easier to comprehend.

          manifypods had no dependencies. Added them, although the
          correct solution would be to have dependencies on the
          produced manpages. The latter is not possible, because they
          contain colons.

          Two occurrences of \Q in did not have a coresponding \E.
          Fixed.

          Liblist choked on -lg++, because the \Q was missing
          completely. Fixed.

          Manifest.pm tried a link() even on systems without link()
          available. Fix supplied by Ilya applied.

          Introduced XS_VERSION to support a better matching control
          between the VERSION of the *.pm and the *.xs part of the
          package.

          Dropped the default -noprototype argument to xsubpp.
