This is patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl version 5.003_05.

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.)

The h2xs that is in perl5.003_05 has a regexp bug which prevents it from

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.

Subject: 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.

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.

First, with IO::untaint, the patches as posted resulted in a
miniperl which couldn't open files, so the autosplitting of the
library and the creation of Makefiles for the extensions didn't
work. Worse, it didn't just fail to open files, it dumped core.

Pod typos, pod2man bugs, and miscellaneous installation comments
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.
