Fix up Linux hints for tcsh, and Configure patch
perl5.003_97[mumble,mumble] contained some hints to work around a csh bug
in some versions of Linux.
Unfortunately, that hint doesn't work for a variety of reasons. If
anyone's really interested in the anatomy of a failed hint, I can oblige.
Or you can just trust me :-)

Make h2ph generate constant subs

> I'd say so. Who can tell us whether h2ph is easily changeable?
It is, here's a patch. It could still use changes so that it emits new
style sub invocations so that more constant folding happens, but that's
trickier. Additional changes in the patch are removal of a "chdir
/usr/include" (which prevented you from converting files in other
directories and wasn't needed for the standard invocation) and addition
of a -d switch to specify output directory (so I could test my changes
more easily).
Somewhere around here I've got the start of regression suite for h2ph,
remind me to dust it off for _50.
Another bug in h2ph it would be nice to fix:
$ echo "
#define FOO (BAR || BAZ)
#if FOO
#endif" | h2ph | perl
Undefined subroutine &main::BAR called at - line 1.
I can't regenerate my vendor's current headers due to this one.

Ouch. Too-Quick-oh. <Blush>
Sure thing is, I want to chmod 777 always for _directories_ before I
remove them, because they may contain subdirectories that need to be
removed recursively. So I want them both read- and writeable. Stupid
thing was that I applied the same idea to files.

I redid it. This time with a test that fails with current perl and
works with my patch in place.

Pity I'm late.
This patch
1) Fixes Term::Cap which thought that absolute paths start
with '/';
2) Adds a new method `ornaments' to Term::ReadLine;
2a) Documents an old method `tkRunning' of Term::ReadLine;
3) Adds a new `O'ption to debugger: ornaments. Possible
values are 0, 1, or comma-separated list of 4 terminal
capabilities to surround prompt and the command line.

That's a bug introduced with the win32 support in _94 -- it assumes
dirname($dir) will return the name of $dir's parent, not $dir itself.
I've appended a fix for that, and for a problem with the DECCRTL
mkdir() (doesn't like trailing '/') that gets me to a clean build
for _94. complex.t fails -- runs out of memory after sucking down
around 70 MB, but I don't know whether it's a Perl bug or just
a pathological test.
I haven't got beyond _94 yet -- I've been swamped for the past couple
weeks, and it's going to get worse before it gets better :-/ -- but
I'll try to pick up the newer patches and test them as soon as I
can. In the meantime, reports from other folks, doc updates (especially
for the installation instructions), etc. are most welcome. :-)

Accommodate CodeBuilder variant of Machten 4.0.3
(this is the same change as commit
f56dede6f0d67b2435681a318bccb04d4f017fbd, but as applied)
Dominic Dunlop [Tue, 8 Apr 1997 20:15:15 +0000]
Accommodate CodeBuilder variant of Machten 4.0.3
The following patch against _97b massages a couple of test files so that
CodeBuilder 1.0, a derivative of MachTen 4.0.3, passes all tests (except
lib/db-recno, due to an old DB library). The patch does three things:
1. Make op/stat.t test 35 look in /usr/bin for SUID files iff $^O has value
'machten'. (PowerBuilder has /bin directory, but it contains no SUID
files. Perl5 porters with reasonable memories may remember that the test
got retargetted at /bin only in January. Sigh. A better fix than this
quick hack is really required.)
2. Make op/stat.t test 39 check for value of $^O, succeeding if it's 'machten'.
(PowerBuilder and other MachTen variants lack /MachTen directory, but
all have a uname which says they're 'machten'.)
3. Amend io/fs.t test 25 so that it tests whether truncate can reduce the
length of a file attached to a filehandle, mirroring test 23's check of
whether truncate can reduce the length of a named file, rather than testing
whether truncate can extend an empty file attched to a filehandle. (See
discussion below.)
NOTE IN PARTICULAR POINT 3: CodeBuilder is distinguished from MachTen 4.0.3
in supporting a true Berkeley Fast File System as an alternative to MacOS'
incredibly slow Heirarchical File System. CodeBuilder's FFS code is
derived from 4.3BSD, and does not allow truncate() to extend a file's size.
The HFS code is derived from 4.4BSD, and does allow such extension. (The
man page for truncate(2) has not, as far as I can tell, changed in a long
time, and has reather slippery wording: it's not clear whether extension is
allowed, and the system errors one might expect for failed extension --
ENOSPC and others -- are not mentioned.) Looking at the io/fs.t, it seems
that a typo may have turned a check that the length of a file attached to a
handle can be reduced into a check that it can be extended. The patch
"fixes" the test to check for length reduction. If, on the other hand, it
should indeed be a test of extension (which, presumably, every other system
that supports truncate() passes) then io/fs.t should not be patched, and
CodeBuilder 1.0 pronounced buggy.
