Three bugs in pod2html
I had three problems with the pod2html distributed with perl 5.00399:
1. The HTML code generated begins with a series of hyperlinks to all
sections of the file. Pod directives occurring in the section
titles (=head directives) were not translated.
2. C<foo()> sets translates to <CODE>foo</CODE> -- the () disappear.
3. Perlpod promises that example code gets typeset with tab stops
every 8 columns. HTML makes no such promise, hence pod2html must
expand tabs.
The first three hunks of the patch below solve #1, hunk 4 fixes a
call to &process_text with the wrong number of args, hunk 5 solves #3
and hunk 6 solves #2.x

If an =over/=back block ends just before a =head1 tag, there is an

doesn't appear to have any negative effects. The blank line after the

Support shared libperl on AIX
The current distribution will not build a shared libperl on AIX.
Currently the Makefile generated uses the same ld options for building
a shared libperl and dynamicly loaded extentions. AIX's compiler
requires that you tell it explicitly what symbols to export/import. So,
it needs a separate set of LD options for each.
On top of all this, AIX doesn't seem to have an equivilent to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. So, the directories to search during runtime must be
explicitly compiled in. In the following patch I compiled in both the
compilation directory (for miniperl and testing) and the installation
directory. I wish someone could suggest something cleaner, but it works.

Disable op/pipe.t test under Machten

Here's a patch. It seems MachTen doesn't behave like native UNIX here, so
punt.
Given that VMS doesn't behave like native UNIX either (and there's been
nothing on the list yet about NT and other "aliens"), test 9 looks like a
good emulation exposer. Is this what we want? As far as I can make out
from a little mucking about and a reading of ISO 9945-1:1990, MachTen is
behaving in a way that POSIX allows: stdio elects not to buffer writes on
pipes (a defensible decision); a write on a broken pipe fails with EPIPE
and raises SIGPIPE (correct by POSIX); close of a broken pipe succeeds
(correct by POSIX,and OK by perl: nothing's buffered, because the write
failed) if the pipe reader exited with zero status. Slightly
disconcertingly, I discover that, if I substitute the command 'false' for
'true' as the putative pipe reader, the (perl) close fails. close() is not
documented as failing if a pipe reader has terminated with a non-zero exit
code. Is this a documentation shortcoming, a general perl bug, or a
MachTen perl bug? Whether close() suceeds or fails, $? is set
appropriately.
Whatever, so as to get 5.004 out of the door, either apply this patch or do
away with test 9 entirely, pending deeper reflection.

Don't put leading newline on numeric strings
Subject: NeXT fails one test due to atoi
pragme/constants has a test that does the equivalent of:
print " \t\n1234" == 1234 ? "ok" : "not ok";
This test prints "not ok" on the NeXT. Here's some background how the
NeXT behaves with several leading whitespaces.

Make h2ph generate constant subs

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.

EXCELLENT idea! I'll make up my patch that way.
