Update Module::Load::Conditional to CPAN version 0.38
Addresses a serious problem with CPANPLUS and behaviour of
version-0.82. Checking for out of date modules with 'o'
in CPANPLUS blows up if any modules that are installed
have non-numeric version strings.
Extract from Changelog:
Changes for 0.38 Fri Apr 23 15:52:38 BST 2010
=================================================
* New release of version raises exceptions on
parse errors. Use eval to guard ourselves
against this.
Changes for 0.36 Tue Feb 9 14:16:21 GMT 2010
=================================================
* Apply patch from Pavel Shaydo RT #53546 to improve
the performance of _parse_version()

[perl #73776] "???? - please notify IZ"
Change 27536 (45f4726) started using -1 as a special len value for utf8
magic. I believe this marker indicates that the utf8 length cache needs
to be calculated, in which case dump.c can ignore this case.

Fixes and new functions for Module::CoreList
Fixed functions will edge-case involving querying for Module::CoreList
itself. Pointed out by Ilmari.
Added removed_from() and removed_from_by_date() functions
for querying which release a module was removed from core.
Amended corelist utility to use new removed from functions when
stating when a module entered core ( and when it left it ).
Added tests to the testsuite to cover the edge-cases and new funcs.

FreeBSD 7+ no longer contains /usr/bin/objformat, so the following

The original fix for tied elements losing magic had a bug that was masked

elements of @+ lost their values when returned from a sub. By removing the

[PATCH] [5.12] Allow build on aix 4.2 (sigaction and IPv6)
Based on a patch by AUGUSTE-ETIENNE José <jose.auguste-etienne@cgss-guyane.fr>
The attached patches are necessary to work around aix 4.2 lack of support for IPv6,
and limited support for POSIX sigaction()
The hints/aix_4.sh patch solves the following build failure:
"Socket.xs", line 468.16: 1506-007 (S) "struct in6_addr" is undefined.
The ext/POSIX/t/sigaction.t patch solves the failing test reported a looong time ago:
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2006-01/msg01124.html
After testing a simple C program using POSIX sigaction() with SA_SIGINFO,
I found that it worked on aix 4.3 but failed on aix 4.2.
I think it's safe to skip the SA_SIGINFO test on the aix 4.2 platform.
perl 5.12.0 builds fine on the following platforms / C compiler :
aix 4.2.1 / vac 5.0.2.7 (with attached patches)
aix 4.3.2 / gcc 2.95.3
aix 4.3.3 / vac 4.4.0.3
aix 4.3.3 / vac 5.0.28
aix 5.2 / GNUpro gcc 2.9.aix51.020209
The atatched patches should be applied to blead and maint.

Set the legacy process name with prctl() on assignment to $0 on Linux
Ever since perl 4.000 we've only set the POSIX process name via
argv[0]. Unfortunately on Linux the POSIX name isn't used by utilities
like top(1), ps(1) and killall(1).
Now when we set C<$0 = "hello"> both C<qx[ps h $$]> (POSIX) and
C<qx[ps hc $$]> (legacy) will say "hello", instead of the latter being
"perl" as was previously the case.
