Pity I'm late.
This patch
1) Fixes Term::Cap which thought that absolute paths start
with '/';
2) Adds a new method `ornaments' to Term::ReadLine;
2a) Documents an old method `tkRunning' of Term::ReadLine;
3) Adds a new `O'ption to debugger: ornaments. Possible
values are 0, 1, or comma-separated list of 4 terminal
capabilities to surround prompt and the command line.

That's a bug introduced with the win32 support in _94 -- it assumes
dirname($dir) will return the name of $dir's parent, not $dir itself.
I've appended a fix for that, and for a problem with the DECCRTL
mkdir() (doesn't like trailing '/') that gets me to a clean build
for _94. complex.t fails -- runs out of memory after sucking down
around 70 MB, but I don't know whether it's a Perl bug or just
a pathological test.
I haven't got beyond _94 yet -- I've been swamped for the past couple
weeks, and it's going to get worse before it gets better :-/ -- but
I'll try to pick up the newer patches and test them as soon as I
can. In the meantime, reports from other folks, doc updates (especially
for the installation instructions), etc. are most welcome. :-)

Accommodate CodeBuilder variant of Machten 4.0.3

Dominic Dunlop [Tue, 8 Apr 1997 20:15:15 +0000]
Accommodate CodeBuilder variant of Machten 4.0.3
The following patch against _97b massages a couple of test files so that
CodeBuilder 1.0, a derivative of MachTen 4.0.3, passes all tests (except
lib/db-recno, due to an old DB library). The patch does three things:
1. Make op/stat.t test 35 look in /usr/bin for SUID files iff $^O has value
'machten'. (PowerBuilder has /bin directory, but it contains no SUID
files. Perl5 porters with reasonable memories may remember that the test
got retargetted at /bin only in January. Sigh. A better fix than this
quick hack is really required.)
2. Make op/stat.t test 39 check for value of $^O, succeeding if it's 'machten'.
(PowerBuilder and other MachTen variants lack /MachTen directory, but
all have a uname which says they're 'machten'.)
3. Amend io/fs.t test 25 so that it tests whether truncate can reduce the
length of a file attached to a filehandle, mirroring test 23's check of
whether truncate can reduce the length of a named file, rather than testing
whether truncate can extend an empty file attched to a filehandle. (See
discussion below.)
NOTE IN PARTICULAR POINT 3: CodeBuilder is distinguished from MachTen 4.0.3
in supporting a true Berkeley Fast File System as an alternative to MacOS'
incredibly slow Heirarchical File System. CodeBuilder's FFS code is
derived from 4.3BSD, and does not allow truncate() to extend a file's size.
The HFS code is derived from 4.4BSD, and does allow such extension. (The
man page for truncate(2) has not, as far as I can tell, changed in a long
time, and has reather slippery wording: it's not clear whether extension is
allowed, and the system errors one might expect for failed extension --
ENOSPC and others -- are not mentioned.) Looking at the io/fs.t, it seems
that a typo may have turned a check that the length of a file attached to a
handle can be reduced into a check that it can be extended. The patch
"fixes" the test to check for length reduction. If, on the other hand, it
should indeed be a test of extension (which, presumably, every other system
that supports truncate() passes) then io/fs.t should not be patched, and
CodeBuilder 1.0 pronounced buggy.

nuts, I should have done something about this a while ago. See, CGI
reads your scripts output, scanning headers and such. mod_perl does
not. This patch should makes things behave as expected.

Patch to Build Dynamic-Lib (DLL) version of perl using gnuwin32 b17.1
I have successfully built a dynamic-lib (dll) version of perl version 5.003_94
using the gnuwin32 tools on windows 95 and windows NT 3.51. This port builds
all extension libs for perl as DLLs.
A patch is attached to this message.
Detailed Instructions:
The following assumes you have the gnuwin32 (version b17.1) package installed
and configured on your system. See http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/ for
details on the gnuwin32 package.
1) Obtain perl5.003_94 (from www.perl.com or CPAN) and extract
to a directory on your system.
2) cd to the path where perl5.003_94 is installed. e.g, if you
installed to /perl5.003_94, then cd to /perl5.003_94.
3) Apply this patch:
patch -p1 < dllpatch
Note: If you have problems with the patch that comes with
the gnuwin32 package, (I have had problems getting it to apply
multiple patches in a single file) try the patch located
at http://www.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/win95/prog/gpatch2b.zip.
Also, the files pp_sys.c and perl.h that the patch modifies must
be in unix format. If your extraction utility (like winzip) converts
to dos format, change the format of these files back before applying
the patch.
5) Modify the ld2 script
Change the PERLPATH variable to the location you extracted perl.
for example, if you extracted perl to /perl5.003_94, change so
the line looks like:
PERLPATH=/perl5.003_94
4) Copy the two scripts ld2, and gcc2 to a directory in your PATH
environment variable. For example, copy to /bin, assuming /bin is
in your PATH. (These two scripts ld2 and gcc2 are 'wrapper' scripts
that encapsulate the multiple-pass dll building steps used by gnuwin32
ld/gcc.)
5) Run the perl Configuration script as stated in the perl README file;
e.g.
sh Configure
select gnuwin32 at this prompt:
First time through, eh? I have some defaults handy for the following
systems:
.
.
.
Which of these apply, if any?
The defaults should be OK for everything else, except for the specific
pathnames for
the gnuwin32 libs, include files, installation dirs, etc on your system.
Note:
On windows 95, the configuration script only stops every other time
for responses from the command line. In this case you can manually edit
the gnuwin32.sh hint file for your paths, copy hints/gnuwin32.sh to
config.sh,
and run Configure non-interactively using sh Configure -d.
6) Do a make, as stated in the perl README file
7) Do a make test. Some test will fail, but you should get around a
83% OK result. (Most failures seem to be due to unix'ism that
don't apply for win32.)
8) Do a make install. This will fail about 1/2 of the way thru. It appears
that perl can't find itself when it forks because it cd's to another
directory during the install process. You get around this by invoking
the install script using a full pathname for perl. For example, if
perl is extracted to perl5.003_94, do a
'/perl5.003_94/perl installperl'. This should complete the install
process.

This patch straightens out some code that used to be crooked,
avoids redundant SV allocs/frees, and makes a macro more
consistent. Nothing critical here.

My paranoid fear is the following: Suppose you already have
perl5.003_97 installed somewhere and it has a corresponding
libperl.so.3.97 installed in the appropriate directory. Now suppose
you're rebuiding perl5.003_97 (e.g. to test a patch or whatever) and
your new ./perl is linked with the moral equivalent of
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
cc -o perl -R $archlib -lperl [...]
Now, when you're down in the t/ library running your tests, and miniperl
gets called, which libperl.so.3.97 do you get -- the new one found via
LD_LIBRARY_PATH or the old one found via the -R directive?
(This is very similar to the shared libperl/debugging problem discussed in
the INSTALL file.)
I don't think any solution is bulletproof. I suspect that the suggested
change probably won't make matters any worse, but I'm wary at this stage
(gee, that's a suprise from me:-)
Instead, I think the following should probably be safe:

Win32 update
The win32 make fails because it cannot find "camel.ico".
Even if I add a camel.ico stolen from elsewhere, the build
fails due to lack of "resource.h" referenced in "perl.rc"
(when using VC++ 2.0).
The following patch simply disables binding the icon resource
into perl.exe. (One can always associate a bare *.ico file
to any executable, so it's not like it *has* to be bound
into perl.exe when building it.)

Here's a fix for that. It's just more heuristics, so it isn't perfect.
In a related vein, this still leaves
Getopt::Long(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatiGetopt::Long(3pm)
in the page header on my system. "User Contributed Perl Documentation"
is just too long. Would anybody mind replacing this with something
shorter? Say
Getopt::Long(3pm) User Perl Docs Getopt::Long(3pm)
or
Getopt::Long(3pm) Wankel Rotary Engine Getopt::Long(3pm)
or even
Getopt::Long(3pm) Getopt::Long(3pm)
I'm partial the last of these, myself, but I'd be happy with anything
less than about 20 characters. Patch happily supplied if nobody
objects.

I considered that, but felt it was more correct not to pass through the

out before it gets there.
I also looked at having two caches for empty string/empty sub timings,
but was unable to get satisfactory results. I'll come back to that one,
but I don't think it is urgent for 5.004.
This patch is for the Benchmark.pm in _96: it repeats stuff from my
