5.002beta1 attempted some memory optimizations, but unfortunately
they can result in a memory leak problem. This can be
avoided by #define STRANGE_MALLOC. I do that here until
consensus is reached on a better strategy for handling the
memory optimizations.
Include maxo for the maximum number of operations (needed
for the Safe extension).

perl 5.002beta1h patch: mg.c
Set up a reliable signal handler, courtesy of Kenneth Albanowski.

perl 5.002beta1h patch: lib/Pod/Text.pm
New file. This was created by Dov (???) and enhanced
by Kenneth Albanowski, but all based on Tom C.'s pod2text.
Unfortunately, they used a version of pod2text earlier than
the one in patch.2b1g. I've tried to straighten this all out.
Equally unfortunately, we've all left Tom as the AUTHOR, even
though we can't hold him responsible for errors he didn't
introduce. Oh well.

/usr/local/lib/perl5.
Mention how to avoid nm extraction.
Perl 5 Porters [Wed, 3 Jan 1996 22:14:37 +0000]
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.

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.

5.002 beta 1
If you're adventurous, have a look at
ftp://ftp.sems.com/pub/outgoing/perl5.0/perl5.002beta1.tar.gz
Many thanks to Andy for doing the integration.
Obviously, if you consult the bugs database, you'll note there are
still plenty of buglets that need fixing, and several enhancements that
I've intended to put in still haven't made it in (Hi, Tim and Ilya).
But I think it'll be pretty stable. And you can start to fiddle around
with prototypes (which are, of course, still totally undocumented).
Packrats, don't worry too much about readvertising this widely.
Nowadays we're on a T1 here, so our bandwidth is okay.
Have the appropriate amount of jollity.

This is my patch patch.1n for perl5.001.
To apply, change to your perl directory, run the command above, then
apply with
patch -p1 -N < thispatch.
This is a consolidation patch. It contains many of the most commonly
applied or agreed-to patches that have been circulating since
patch.1m.
It also changes the 'unofficial patchlevel' in perl.c.
There are some problems (see items marked with '***').
I will attempt to address those in a patch.1o in a few days.
This patch contains the following packages:
My Jumbo Configure patch vs. 1m, with subsequent patches 1, 2, and 3.
Mainly, this provides easier use of local libraries, documents
the installation process in a new INSTALL file, moves important
questions towards the beginning, and improves detection of
signal names (mostly for Linux).

This is my patch patch.1m for perl5.001.
To apply, change to your perl directory, run the command above, then
apply with
patch -p1 -N < thispatch.
Highlights of this patch include:
1. Fixes for $sitelib, $d_stdio_ptr_lval, and $d_stdio_cnt_lval
when config.sh is re-used.
2. Move embed.h, keywords.h, and opcode.h dependencies to
a special regen_headers target that is ordinarily not used.
This is now analogous to the run_byacc target. As a cosmetic
side-effect, I transliterated embed_h.sh into embed.pl so that
it can run on non-unix systems as well.
3. Tests for gdbm_{sync,exists,setopt} in GDBM_File (needed for
Slackware 2.1).
For good measure, I've also thrown in the following patches I pulled
off the list, mostly unmodified from the originals.
1. Larry's "unofficial official" fix for the subroutine array context
problem.
2. Tim's __DATA__ patch. (I kept forgetting about this one.)
3. Malcom's USE_OP_MASK patch to pave the way for his Safe extension.
4. Spider's suggested renaming of regexec to pregexec and regcomp to
pregcomp to avoid conflicts with POSIX symbols on Digital Unix.
(I only added a brief explanatory comment to the relevant .c
files.)
5. Spider's installperl patch to avoid installing *.orig and and the
.exists files. (I changed this a little to include patch's ~
suffix, which is used on systems with short file names (in some
versions of patch)).
6. Raphael's "safe_unlink" patch to installperl, in case a copy
of perl is currently runniung.
7. xsubpp 1.9.
8. Tim's lib.pm module (with patched corrected spelling of 2nd :-).
9. Tim's Exporter module version patches.
10. Tim's MakeMaker patches for make test when LINKTYPE=static.
11. Randal's pod2html patches.
12. Spider's "picky compiler" patches for x2p/util.[ch]
13. Paul's updated source filtering patches.
Patch and enjoy. I hope nothing breaks :-).

This is my patch patch.1i for perl5.001.
To apply, change to your perl directory, run the commands above, then
apply with
patch -p1 -N < thispatch.
After you apply this patch, I would recommend:
rm config.sh
sh Configure [whatever options you use]
make depend
make
make test
Here are the highlights:
All pod documentation now installed, along with corresponding man
pages, if possible (Configure allows you to change this).
cppstdin no longer points back to the build directory. This
necessitated two changes to the test suite: comp/cpp.t is now a
front end that punts if cppstdin is not yet available (the old
perl4 trick doesn't work for perl5). The op/misc.t test
./perl -P -e 'use POSIX;' has been dropped since I couldn't think
of an elegant way to bypass it for systems that need the cppstdin
wrapper.
Grand autoload patch included (minus the installperl, lib/, and
ext/ changes). The lib/ changes are in patch.1g, and the
ext/ changes are in patch.1h.
Better detection and use of stdio variants, especially on SVR4.
Sarathy's consolidated patches (for ties) included.
New filter stuff included.
Three patches from Larry (gv.c, toke.c, pp_ctl.c)
Patch and enjoy,

Document changes in the Configure & build process.
Configure
Upgrade to metaconfig PL55.
Add /opt hierarchy to paths searched for programs.
Tye McQueen's updated std stdio testing.
Prompting for installation info for perl module pages.
Add possible SITELIB to include site-specific include directories.
By default this is disabled, but it seemed a neat idea now that
the standard perl library is getting so big.
Check that the compiler chosen exists and actually supports the
options the user specified.
Correctly sort multiple shared library version numbers.
Use a compile & link test for gconvert(), dlopen(), and dlerror().
Do not include build directory name in cppstdin wrapper.
MANIFEST
Updated.
Makefile.SH
Reorganized a bit to support separate install.perl and install.man
targets to use the new installman script and to accomodate those who
don't want to install the man pages.
Organize cleanup of .SH files a little better.
No longer automatically make the pod/*.man files. This is done by
installman only if requested.
Include additional error messages and info for regenerating the
automatically maintained header files.
Add 'minitest' target.

perlcall.pod, and perlguts.pod from the authors.
Andy Dougherty [Tue, 18 Apr 1995 01:06:04 +0000]
perl5.001 patch.1e
Here's what's included:
Configure
Change a few more spots so that ' ' is equivalent to "none".
This allows hint files to set empty values for variables.
Split cpp-symbol awk command for old awk (Harris Night Hawk).
hints/irix_5.sh
hints/irix_6.sh
Explicitly use 'ld' rather than 'cc' to build dynamic modules.
hints/linux.sh
Allow users to specify an alternate compiler on the command line, e.g.
Configure -Dcc=gcc-elf.
lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
Fix CC substitution to allow c++ and variants as well.
perl.c
fputs("Unofficial patchlevel 1e.\n",stdout);
pod/Makefile
Include $(TEX) target for running pod2latex.
Include some fixes from Bill Middleton.
Andy Dougherty [Fri, 14 Apr 1995 22:32:18 +0000]
perl5.001 patch.1d
This is my patch patch.1d for perl5.001. A complete description is
given below, but here are the basic changes.
1. Linux: more tweaks so dynamic loading works under ELF
or (maybe) under dld. There are so many different dld versions
and so many different tool sets, it's hard to be more specific.
2. perl -e '$v=1e19+0' no longer dumps core on Intel x86
processors.
3. pod stuff:
a. Wrapped pod2* translators in a 'SH' wrapper so that they
have the proper path to perl at the top.
b. Fixed pod/ Makefile to call the pod2html translator
correctly. (Why do pod2man and pod2html work differently?)
c. Include latest (Feb 2, 1995) version of pod2html, fresh from
ftp.metronet.com.
4. MakeMaker 4.093.
5. GIMME and installperl patches from Tim Bunce.
6. Miscellaneous hint file updates.
Configure
Allow ' ' to mean 'none' in a few more places. This provides
a way for hint files to set something to an empty value and to
ensure that the empty value will be maintained when config.sh is
reused.
Fix silly ld typo that prevented hint file from actually setting
$ld.
MANIFEST
Now has pod/pod2*.SH.
Makefile.SH
Remove old libperl.a instead of blindly adding to it. Failure to
do this causes a problem if you originally used perl's malloc but
later changed your mind. The old malloc.o would still be in
libperl.a
ext/DynaLoader/dl_dlopen.xs
Use strerror(errno) instead of dlerror for NetBSD.
handy.h
Clarify & rework HAS_BOOL comments and code. No functionality is
changed, but I hope this is easier to follow.
hints/freebsd.sh
hints/isc.sh
hints/linux.sh
hints/netbsd.sh
hints/next_3_0.sh
hints/next_3_2.sh
hints/sco_3.sh
Miscellaneous updates. See the individual comments in the patches.
installperl
Run ranlib on installed .a libraries.
unlink() old versions of files before installing new ones, in
case the old ones are are write-protected.
lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
Updated to 4.092 by Andreas Koenig. This features better
selection of shared library versions and shorter command lines for
static linking of new extensions. It is also more robust against
broken csh on Linux. (There's still a glob in the library
selection loop, however.)
I further updated it to 4.093 because I didn't like the
distclean target :-). It's just a sloppy quick fix, but that's
all I have time for now. I've also worked on the library version
selection stuff and the $(CC) command stuff a little more.
lib/TieHash.pm
Overdue removal of ambiguous ${pack} construction.
perl.h
New U_V macro to cast to the UV type (usually unsigned long).
pod/Makefile
Updated.
pod/pod2html.SH
Updated.
Converted to 'SH' wrapper so correct #!/path/to/perl gets used.
pod/pod2latex.SH
pod/pod2man.SH
Converted to 'SH' wrapper so correct #!/path/to/perl gets used.
pp_hot.c
GIMME patch from Tim Bunce.
pp_sys.c
Allow use of F_FREESP fcntl() directive to truncate files.
If HAS_MKDIR is not defined, the stat() call to check the result
of the system "mkdir" call was failing because the filename
pointer no longer pointed to the right location.
sv.c
Protect some (UV) casts by the new U_V() macro.
util.c
New cast_uv() function to support the U_V() macro, if needed.
cast_iv() and cast_uv() no longer assume 32-bit longs.
The various cast_() functions have also been simplified.
Andy Dougherty [Thu, 6 Apr 1995 20:20:47 +0000]
perl5.001 patch.1c
Configure
Updated to dist PL53.
Fix overlapping memcpy test.
Add check for ld. Use $cc instead, if on an ELF system.
With -d, don't reuse config.sh unless $myuname matches.
Warn more explicitly about changing compilers before reloading
old config.sh.
Detect Linux ELF format in nm scan.
Better detection of d_castneg. (ISC 4.1 was passing the test,
but couldn't cast in an argument list.)
Suggest -fpic for dynamic loading if you're using GNU CC under any
name.
No longer test for byacc, fmod, or drem, since they are not used.
Makefile.SH
Use $ld, not ld (only matters for SVR4)
Silence some byacc-related harmless error messages.
README
Suggest using -Dcc=gcc (or whatever).
Warn about reusing old config.sh. (The warning was already there
in 5.001; I've just expanded it a little.)
Warn against using GNU as and GNU ld on SunOS & Solaris.
config.H
config_h.SH
Updated to match Configure.
doio.c
Add socket includes.
ext/Fcntl/Fcntl.xs
Fix typo: s/SETFL/F_SETFL/;
handy.h
Check _G_HAVE_BOOL, not just if it's defined.
hints/dynix.sh
hints/hpux_9.sh
hints/linux.sh
hints/netbsd.sh
hints/titanos.sh
Updated. ELF on linux should probably work.
installperl
Install pod2html, pod2latex, and pod2man.
lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
Updated to 4.091. (4.09 + a small writedoc() patch.)
myconfig
Now includes 'ld' command.
perl.c
Revised an #elif clause since Pyramid's cpp doesn't understand
#elif.
perl.h
Fix U_L, I_V, and I_32 cast macros to ensure that
the cast_ulong(), cast_iv(), and cast_i32() functions (if used)
are passed a double. In particular, the FIXSTATUS macros were
handing int's to U_L().
Remove unnecessary HAS_FMOD testing (See util.c).
proto.h
Remove my_fmod() prototype. (See util.c)
sv.h
Fix GV/CV typo.
util.c
Simplified cast_i32() and cast_iv() to mimic what *actually*
happens on a SPARC running SunOS 4.1.3. (Previously, they did
some complicated fmod() calculation. I've since discovered that's
not what happens on the SPARC.)
With this change, fmod() is no longer necessary. Hence my_fmod
is removed. This also means the HAS_FMOD and HAS_DREM tests are
no longer needed in Configure, so they are gone too.
vms/config.vms
Remove unnecessary HAS_FMOD and HAS_DREM defines.
x2p/Makefile.SH
Silence byacc-related things.
Andy Dougherty [Fri, 31 Mar 1995 00:56:10 +0000]
perl5.001 patch.1b: [byacc deps fix, set*id fixes, x2p/walk.c emit_split()
fix]
This is my patch patch.1b for perl5.001.
[Actually, that's a lie. This is just a reposting of two of my
patches (removing some byacc dependencies and fixing some set*id
stuff) + one version of the x2p/walk.c emit_split() patch.
I've just usurped the letter 'b' to fit in my patch sequence.
You probably have already applied these as well, but again here they
are all packaged up nice and neatly for storage on ftp sites.]
Here's one possible solution to the byacc problem. Short summary:
make will think your perly.[ch] are out of date because perly.c.diff
has changed. They aren't really out of date, but the ordering of the
timestamps in the distribution fools make. I had put some traps in
perly.fixer to check to make sure that everything got run only if
you ran the same version of byacc (1.8) as Larry, but the traps aren't good
enough: There's a Cygnus version of byacc out there that also calls
itself 1.8 (with a +Cygnus xxx note attached). I don't think I'll
ever be able to reliably detect all mutant byacc's, so the safest
course of action seems to be to never run byacc.
(Yes, the perly.fixer check could be a _lot_ smarter. Volunteers?)
This simple-minded fix just puts in a
perly.c: perly.y
- touch perly.c
perly.h: perly.y
- touch perly.h
to bring perly.[ch] up to date, if needed.
The '-' are in case your source is read-only.
It also does the same trick in x2p/Makefile.SH.
WARNING! Danger! Larry, if you do this, it means you have to
explicitly call
make run_byacc
whenever you change perly.y, perly.c.diff, or
cd x2p; make run_byacc
if you change x2p/a2p.y.
However, it might be worth it. I leave it up to you.
Larry Wall [Wed, 15 Mar 1995 16:34:28 +0000]
[fix bug in print]
: In perl 5.001 the print function now only outputs one significant digit for the
: the results of some mathematical functions.
:
: $ cat mine
: #!/usr/bin/perl
: print sqrt(2), "\n";
: print 4 * atan2(1,1), "\n";
: print log(2), "\n";
: $ ./mine
: 1
: 3
: 0
Okay, I understand how this one happened. This is a case where a
beneficial fix uncovered a bug elsewhere. I changed the constant
folder to prefer integer results over double if the numbers are the
same. In this case, they aren't, but it leaves the integer value there
anyway because the storage is already allocated for it, and it *might*
be used in an integer context. And since it's producing a constant, it
sets READONLY. Unfortunately, sv_2pv() bogusly preferred the integer
value to the double when READONLY was set. This never showed up if you
just said
print 1.
4142135623731;
because in that case, there was already a string value.

perl5.000 patch.0o: [address] a few more Configure and build nits.
This patch addresses a few more Configure and build nits. Full
details are given below, but the main hightligths are (slightly)
better support for nested extensions and DLD and AIX MakeMaker fixes.
Configure
Detect MachTen. Thanks to Mark Pease <peasem@primenet.com>.
Delete some tabs that caused a MachTen /bin/sh core dump!
Detect extensions nested 1 level deep, e.g. Devel/DProf/DProf.xs
MANIFEST
MANIFEST.new
Include new hints/machten.sh hint file.
Makefile.SH
Document why we use ./makedir instead of mkdir.
U/Extensions.U
Detect extensions nested 1 level deep, e.g. Devel/DProf/DProf.xs
U/dist3_051.pat
Include MachTen patches.
configpm
Convert nested extension names from filesytem-dependent Devel/DProf
to perl5's internal naming scheme Devel::DProf.
doio.c
A dup-related buglet fix from Hallvard B. Furuseth
<h.b.furuseth@usit.uio.no>.
ext/DB_File/DB_File.pm
ext/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.pm
ext/Fcntl/Fcntl.pm
ext/GDBM_File/GDBM_File.pm
ext/POSIX/POSIX.pm
ext/Socket/Socket.pm
Throw a qw() around @ISA elements to show "good style".
hints/machten.sh
new file.
lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
Bump version number to 4.086.
Fix AIX buglet -- needed to specify NAME.
Linux/DLD/gcc-2.6.2: We no longer load .sa libraries (except
libm.sa, which is apparently still o.k.
util.c
Another dup-related buglet fix.

perl5.000 patch.0n: [address Configure and build issues]
This is my patch patch.0n for perl5.000.
This _very_ small patch
1. updates the linux and dec_osf hints files,
2. adds sv_isobject to global.sym,
3. updates Configure to deal with recent Linux nm output, and
4. fixes the names in File::Path.
This patch addresses only Configure and build issues for which I have
tested solutions. It does nothing else. Maybe some of the other patches
floating around should be included. Maybe not. I'm afraid I just
don't have time to think about them now.
Unless something's broken, I hope not to issue any more patches :-)
(Yes, I've said that before, but this one's _really_ small, and linux
support was broken.:-) Thanks to Kenneth Albanowski for researching,
implementing, and testing the Linux patch.

perl5.000 patch.0m: [various fixes, hint file updates and documentation]
This is my patch patch.0m for perl5.000.
This patch fixes all remaining problems that I am aware of, and for
which I have a solution. It also updates some hint files and
documentation.
Here's what's new:
Configure
Protect against spaces in uname -m output (unicos).
Look in <stdlib.h> for malloctype and freetype.
Check if user has void free() or int free().
Look in linux/signal.h for signal names.
MANIFEST
MANIFEST.new
Two new hint files: cxux.sh and PowerUNIX.sh.
Sorted.
README
Indicate what gets installed and where it usually goes.
Thanks to Hallvard B. Furuseth <h.b.furuseth@usit.uio.no>
for suggesting this.
U/Myinit.U
Update extliblist comment.
U/dist3_051.pat
This file contains patches to dist 3 (PL 51) that I used to generate
Configure for perl.
U/mallocsrc.U
Look in <stdlib.h> for malloctype and freetype.
Check if user has void free() or int free().
config_h.SH
config.H
Add Free_t to handle void free() vs. int free().
ext/DynaLoader/README
Updated comment.
ext/POSIX/POSIX.pm
creat() has 2 arguments, not 3 (thanks, Paul).
ext/POSIX/POSIX.xs
Fix return type of lseek.
ext/SDBM_File/sdbm/sdbm.h
Add I_STDLIB guard on #include <stdlib.h>
ext/util/extliblist
Add note indicating this is obsolete. Don't remove it because
people might be using it for their own private extensions.
hints/PowerUNIX.sh
hints/cxux.sh
New files. Written by Tom.Horsley@mail.hcsc.com
hints/linux.sh
Simplified.
lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
Typo fixed, only affected aix?
malloc.c
Allow for possible int free().
perl.h
pp_sys.c
util.c
If the user is not using vfork, move the #define vfork fork
util after various #include files. Since vfork() and fork() might
have different prototypes, the #define could cause a conflict in
system header files. (Reported for 386bsd.)
Makefile.SH
make realclean will remove h2xs and makeaperl (but leave behind
the .SH versions, of course).
Andy Dougherty [Tue, 21 Feb 1995 01:14:24 +0000]
perl5.000 patch.0l: MakeMaker 4.085 and upgrade Configure to dist3 PL 51.
Here's what's new:
Configure
Generated by metaconfig PL 51.
Correctly set ./mips on a MIPS system.
Improved (we hope) handling of $archname.
MANIFEST
MANIFEST.new
Made .SH files out of h2xs and makeaperl so that they get the
correct path-to-perl at the top.
Makefile.SH
Propagate $(perllib) to extensions.
U/dist3_051.patches
Two patches to apply on top of metaconfig PL 51. I've sent
them off for inclusion in the next metaconfig update.
config_h.SH
config.H
Regenerated. Only the order of elements has changed.
ext/DB_File/Makefile.PL
ext/GDBM_File/Makefile.PL
ext/NDBM_File/Makefile.PL
Add -L/usr/local/lib to LIBS variable.
ext/POSIX/POSIX.xs
Place #ifdef around FD_CLOEXEC (needed for Apollo).
ext/SDBM_File/sdbm/Makefile.PL
Simplified, thanks to MakeMaker enhancements.
ext/util/make_ext
Pass through $(perllib) argument for cflags.
h2xs.SH
Changed from h2xs to h2xs.SH. Now finds correct path to perl.
hints/next_3_2.sh
Updated for hppa.
hints/solaris_2.sh
Remove potentially problematic -lmalloc from $libswanted.
hints/unicos.sh
Look in /usr/include/rpcsvc for dbm.h.
installperl
Install h2xs.
lib/Cwd.pm
Use 'my' variable to avoid clobbering $_.
lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
Upgraded from 4.06 to 4.085.
Lots of documentation improvements.
EXE_FILES to refer to an array of executable files to install.
Reduce chatter during build process.
Don't count a useful -L/path option as a successful search for
a particular library.
Cleanup handling of aix external symbols.
Create/update perllocal.pod to indicate what we've done.
makeaperl.SH
Changed from makeaperl to makeaperl.SH. Now finds correct path
to perl.
x2p/util.c
Delete unused setenv() and envix() functions.
x2p/util.h
Delete unused setenv() and envix() prototypes.
vms/config.vms
Define I_SYS_STAT and I_SYS_TYPES.
