28 years agoDocumentation patch: Tie::Hash, Tie::Scalar, Tie::SubstrHash
Randy J Ray [Tue, 6 Feb 1996 17:04:47 +0000]
Documentation patch: Tie::Hash, Tie::Scalar, Tie::SubstrHash

[This finishes a job started by Randy Ray with perl5.002b1f.]

This patch updates the files lib/TieHash.pm and lib/SubstrHash.pm. Those
two files are moved to a new directory called lib/Tie. A new tie-related
class for scalars, lib/Tie/Scalar.pm, is added. Each of these has pod
documentation that passes through pod2man without complaint. All package
names are updated to reflect this structure, and the "standard" sub-classes
for hashes and scalars are named Tie::StdHash and Tie::StdScalar, in
keeping with the group consensus.

With this, the documentation for Tie::Hash should be fine, Tie::Scalar
exists and is documented, and Tie::SubstrHash (formerly just SubstrHash)
is also documented, albeit weakly. I have no examples of usage to show, and
I suspect a possible bug or two, but without examples it's hard to say.

As it happens, this patch also impacts the DBM-style extensions, as they
(DB_File, NDBM_File, GBM_File, ODBM_File, SDBM_File) all inherited from
the old TieHash.pm as a base class.

Ilya Zakharevich [Wed, 7 Feb 1996 17:16:06 +0000]
TMPFILE support

Currently on DOSISH machines a -e line with a syntax error results in
persisting pl234523 tmpfile. The patch below:

a) Cleans up the cleanup code;
b) Moves the TMPPATH specifics to header files.

I do not send patches for OS/2 files, since they are very much
reworked now, I only note that b) allows OS/2 startup to specify
TMPPATH to look to a $ENV{TMP} directory (instead of the current
directory, as it is now). Note that this allows now running -e perl
from read-only media.

Since there is no place now to have DOSISH _code_, as opposed to
_headers_, I leave the TMPPATH code on ./os2/os2.c, though it should
be common to DOS as well.

Enjoy,
Ilya

        patch -p1 -N < patch.2gamma

The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below.  This is
