applied, use this one instead.
The effect is to remove the CHAR_* and I8_* constants (which are
ambiguous) and to explicitly cast all of the constants.

This patch tries to explain the behavior of AutoLoader instead by

Re: "Attempt to free non-existent shared string"? (with patch)
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.
The patch simply moves the LAZYDEL hint to become a SV-level private
flag.

perl 5.003_05: utils/perldoc.PL
More choices in the pager war. Unfortunately, we can't rely on
all users agreeing with the Sysadmin's choice, nor can we
assign a default preference order, since opinions vary. If the
user doesn't have $ENV{PAGER} set, we do want to pick up one that
at least works, so we'll try whatever Configure found.

updated h2xs
Changes:
a) Docs and examples for -x updated;
b) Path to xxxx.h would not be changed to /usr/include/xxxx.h
unless this file exists (outside of VMS, I'm afraid to make an error
there). - Useful with -x option, when the file may be eaten via -I
inside -F.
c) .h file would be scanned only if needed.
d) typemap would be generated (with T_PTROBJ).
e) Documentation (=list) for autogenerated guys would be
included into POD.
f) duplicated XSUBs would not be generated;
g) arguments to XSUBs being arrays are recognized (note that
xsubpp would probably choke on such guys).
-x option requires C-Scan-0.3 (releases a couple of minutes ago to
ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/pub/users/ilya/perl
should propagate to CPAN soon).

Perl 5.003.03: race condition in t/lib/io_sock.t
io_sock.t works by forking a subprocess it can communicate with.
It has the subprocess wait for the main process by sleeping 10
seconds or until an alarm arrives.
With my setup, the alarm signal arrives *before* the child
has a chance to ignore the alarm signal.
I fixed this by moving the "$SIG{ALRM} = sub {};" up before the
fork. It does not hurt to have the parent ignore alarms, too.

Minor potential bug in AV creation
Fix more spots where we had PerlIO_stderr() and should have had
Perl_debug_log instead.
I wasn't the one who originated this patch. But it looks like it
would improve the safety of AV creation.
Remove potentially incorrect casts on PerlIO_set_ptrcnt.
'ptr' is already STDCHAR, which is supposed to be the type of
char used in stdio.h, so we shouldn't have to cast it.

Undef and then re-define my_chsize from Perl_my_chsize to
just plain chsize if this system HAS_CHSIZE. This probably only
applies to SCO. This shows the perils of having internal
functions with the same name as external library functions :-).

Integerize mg.c; eliminate warning on C< local($)) >
Ok, here's a tested patch for the debugger problem.
I was missing the fact that DB::dbline magic is actually
uppercase (which means hv_store_ent() etc., will pass SV keys
to the vtbl_dbline handlers).
Replace the oft-repeated mg_ptr incantation with
the simple MgPVKEY macro.
Rename MgPVKEY to MgPV (to match with HePV elsewhere). Add
additional parens around the "mg".
(lines near 584) Part of VMS changes. I don't know what this did.
This patch converts magic variables ($!, $^E, etc.) to use integers
(C<sv_setiv>) instead of floats. It also eliminates a warning from
C< local($)) >, via a hack similar to $!.

There was a mistake in the sqrt routine in lib/Math/Complex.pm that
gave wrong answers when the magnitude of the imaginary part of the
argument exceeded the magnitude of the real part. Line 69 had too
many sqrt($y)'s. Further, expressions were re-arranged so that
calls to the expensive real sqrt() routine were reduced from 4 to 2
in this case.

perl 5.003_05: lib/AnyDBM_File.pm
AnyDBM_File (modifying ISA does not work as expected)
Now behaves as documented: Modifying ISA works to select
order in which *DB* modules are tried. The default is still
the same.
Add helpful "die" message to end of AnyDBM_File. Previously
it would return a 0, and the failure would eventually show up
somewhere else in the script and be hard to track down. It is
a failure if perl can't open AnyDBM_File. The test regression
suite is supposed to indicate this as a failure too.
