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

# Give this module a sensible home.

This is patch.2gamma to perl5.002 beta3.
This takes you from 5.002beta3 to 5.002gamma.
To apply this patch, run the above commands, then
cd to your perl source directory and then type
patch -p1 -N < patch.2gamma
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 patch.2gamma '/^Index:/' '{99}'
(Of course since there are 116 items and most csplit's have an
arbitrary limit of 100 files, you'll probably have to manually split
this file first, but you get the idea. (GNU csplit doesn't have this
limitation. Nor does a perl solution, of course.))

perl5.002beta3
[editor's note: no patch file was found for this release, so no
fine-grained changes]
I can't find the password for our ftp server, so I had to drop it into
ftp://ftp.sems.com/pub/incoming/perl5.002b3.tar.gz, which is a drop
directory you can't ls.
The current plan is that Andy is gonna whack on this a little more, and
then release a gamma in a few days when he's happy with it. So don't get
carried away. This is now *late* beta.
In other words, have less than the appropriate amount of fun. :-)
