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.

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

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.))
