convert to SelfLoader when methods are overridden in another package)

perl 5.002_01: lib/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm

Update
Perl 5 Porters [Sun, 17 Mar 1996 11:23:42 +0000]
perl 5.002_01: hints/dynixptx.sh

it, but will soon (mod Andy's schedule), and offers it in the
list of possibilities now.
Perl 5 Porters [Sat, 23 Mar 1996 10:55:33 +0000]
perl 5.002_01: hints/bsdos.sh

but comment out sig_name assignment, since it doesn't have a parallel
sig_num. Configure should do ok now, though, according to Andy Dougherty.

Perl 5 Porters [Mon, 11 Mar 1996 08:10:50 +0000]
perl 5.002_01: global.sym
Add several missing symbols, and change run to runops, so its
EMBEDded name doesn't collide with perl_run in case-insensitive
linkers
Perl 5 Porters [Fri, 15 Mar 1996 08:02:33 +0000]
perl 5.002_01: ext/POSIX/POSIX.xs
VMS update: emulate several near misses in signal handling, and
slightly different header file structure. (Yes, it's not strictly
POSIX, but it's close.)
Perl 5 Porters [Sun, 17 Mar 1996 11:27:50 +0000]
perl 5.002_01: ext/FileHandle/FileHandle.pm
Remove English, since it slows both FileHandle initialization and
regexp evaluation throughout any program that uses FileHandle

EMBED is now the default, unless overridden by -DNO_EMBED on

perl 5.002_01: Configure
Use SUBVERSION in default value for $archlib, so development
and production architecture-dependent libs can coexist
(Sorry; I don't have metaconfig, so this is a direct patch
against Configure.)
Perl 5 Porters [Fri, 15 Mar 1996 08:19:14 +0000]

perl 5.002_01: [patch re-organisation and introduction]
This is my patch _01 to perl 5.002.

also includes miscellaneous bugfixes, corrections to the pods,
and minor additions, notably the new $^E and $^O variables.

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.
