Change safe*alloc functions to have prototypes that
match the system's malloc and free types. That is, use
Malloc_t instead of char *, and Free_t instead of void.
This is necessary so . . .
Safefree cast matches type of free() whether it's perl's
malloc/free or the system's malloc/free.

perl 5.003_03: config_h.SH
Updated to match current Configure and config_h.SH.
Some rearrangement of parts has occurred due to new
dependencies in the metaconfig units.
Include full descriptions of ARCHLIB, OLDARCHLIB, PRIVLIB,
SITEARCH, and SITELIB. Previous versions just included the
~-expanded names (with unhelpful descriptions). No functionality
is changed, but maybe it's a little better documented now.
Perl 5 Porters [Sat, 24 Aug 1996 22:16:23 +0000]

Support the new simplified shared libperl mechanism.
Use new $make_set_make directive.
Remove redundant libperl Make variable.
Remove unnecessary MAB variable.
Remove dependency of minitest on lib/Config.pm, since it could
well have been a failure of configpm that inspired testing
miniperl in the first place!
Perl 5 Porters [Sun, 25 Aug 1996 00:36:58 +0000]
perl 5.003_03: MANIFEST
Updated. 5.003_02 introduced some massive patches, mostly
due to spacing changes. I didn't bother to sort them all out;
I just started with 5.003's MANIEFST.

Relaxed warning about ksh on exotic machines.
Changed usesafe to useopcode.
Add search for gzip and zip.
Look more carefully for $sh (the Bourne-ish shell).
Use that info to set $startsh correctly.
Change prompts for PerlIO interface. See INSTALL
for how this is supposed to work. The default is
still the same as in 5.003_02, namely don't use
any fancy new PerlIO stuff.
Don't look for sigvec() since we don't actually use it.
(Plus, it used to print an alarming misleading message about
race conditions.)
Look for stdio's _filbuf under the possible names of
_filbuf, __filbuf, and _fill.
New $useshrplib variable to control whether we build a shared
libperl.so. The name of the library is in $libperl.
Always install it in $installarchlib/CORE/$libperl.
Check for <sys/resource.h> and <sys/wait.h> for NetBSD.
Replace old $altmake stuff with newer autoconf-ish
$make_set_make, which checks if $make sets $(MAKE). Now you
choose an alternate make with sh Configure -Dmake=gmake (or
whatever).
Remove 'ln' for the list of essential commands. Simulate
it with 'cp' if necessary.
Change `logname` prompts to handle extra gratuitous spaces in
Ultrix output.
Autodetect os2.
Fix silly bug in checking for fully-qualified names in /etc/hosts.
Generalize Gconvert tests. Give correct and more useful
error messages.
Use $obj_ext instead of literal '.o' in the dynaloader test.
Include appropriate header files in bcopy() and memcpy()
tests. Note whether memmove is available.
Check whether struct sigaction works (needed for Solaris 2.5
with -Xc).
Include appropriate header files for randbits test.

This commit just represents the minor differences between applying the
patches from 5.003 to 5.003_01 and the 5.003_01 release tarball.
Charles Bailey [Wed, 31 Jul 1996 00:00:00 +0000]
perl 5.003_01: [patch re-organisation and patch series introduction]
This is my patch _01 to perl5.003.
This patch contains the last few months' worth of bugfixes and
additions, since the patch to version 5.003 was deliberately kept
small. A summary of major revisions and additions can be found
in the diff of the Changes file from the standard distribution,
which is the first diff in the patch below.
The detailed changes to each file are described at the head of the diff
for that file, on lines beginning with #~, so you can extract the
comments by saying perl -ne 'print if /^(?:#~|diff)/'.
This patch is a series of context diffs, since some people have
mentioned that their copy of patch can't handle unidiffs.
Please apply it to a clean copy of perl5.003 using patch -p1 -N.
Before applying the patch, please execute the following commands,
or their moral equivalent; you may feed this patch to /bin/sh in
order to do so.
Enjoy.
