Our record in this regard is mixed, at best, I think. (Some
problems that appeared to be optimizer problems have been made to go
away by fixing possibly-related bugs in the perl source.) Still, if it
works . . . .

Oops. That's not nice. The way I do this is
sh Configure -Doptimize=none
though your way is quite fine too.
In general, there's no particular reason to expect optimize='undef' to
do what you want, but it's not hard to handle it gracefully either, so
we could apply this low-urgency but low-risk patch:

Thanks for the report. This is a bug. cppstdin belongs in $installbin,
not $scriptdir.
Why? Because cppstdin is architecture-dependent. It depends, in detail,
on the particular compiler required for that architecture. True, we could
rewrite it in portable perl to use all the appropriate Config.pm
variables, but really, why bother? It's a tiny script that is rarely
used, and I don't want to further encourage its use.
Here's a patch. Hmm. It's a bit longer than I first imagined because I
need to use BIN_EXP instead of BIN, and since perl currently doesn't use
BIN_EXP, metaconfig hadn't stuck it in config.h.
Alternatively, we could have put cppstdin in $installarch or something
like that, but we'd better keep it in $bin just in case some-one's been
relying on that.
Ok. Here it is. (Mind you, I haven't yet *tested* this on a machine that
needs cppstdin :-).

I hope you considered my one-line patch to revert this behavior to that of
perl5.001 (and perl4). I still think we'd be doing a service to include
this patch in 5.004 (and remove that section from the FAQ and the docs).
One may still modify real scalars via $_[0] with the patch, so it has
little potential to cause breakage.

Carp with multiple arguments
Subject: Carp with multiple arguments (and lack of tests)
carp/croak/confess are documented as similar to warn/die, but whereas
warn/die print multiple arguments, carp/croak/confess print only the
first. Assuming that this is a bug rather than a feature, the following
patch corrects it. (And if it _is_ a feature, the pod needs updating
instead, to explain it away.)
Trying to be polite, I thought I'd update the Carp tests to cover this
case. But I couldn't find any Carp tests ... I'll have a go
at rectifying this lacuna. But not till tomorrow.

Don't count on 'trap 0' inside () in shell script
When building 5.003_91, I noticed that Configure leaves a load of files lying
around in /tmp, for example exp21743c, etc. These appear to contain lists of
symbols. A bit of digging reveals that the offender is the perl_exp.SH
script. This contains a bit of code of the form
(
trap "rm -f ...." 0
...
)
I guess that when the sub-shell invoked by the ( ... ) construct exits, the
trap 0 should be taken, and the files removed. Unfortunately, I have noticed
that on at least 2 systems (UnixWare & Unisys SVR4) this doesn't happen. The
following patch fixes it.

Here is what I have:
a) Minor fix for hints/os2;
b) 1 taint test minorly broken (does not unset IFS), and should be
switched off on DOSISH systems anyway :-(;
c) One additional word made legal in MakeMaker (It was supported
before, but a warning was issued).

You too, eh?
However, here's a patch which brings the _91 version up to date.
YES, it still slurps chunks. ( No comment )
YES, it still uses XMP. (Nothing else works right)
YES, it still is hard to follow. (But oh, the joy of figuring it out!)
YES, it works on all platforms with configuration, including Macs...
I had pretty much given up on this, just telling people to grab
the latest from my CPAN dir, but I get alot of mail with fixes
against 1.15, and this is version is vastly better... Please
try it, and apply to 5.004, if it's not too late.
I will (respectfully) ignore any whining about the inappropriateness
of some of the things I had to do in here. Also any comments
about other renditions, I've tried them all, and this one still
excels; besides working on all platforms. I'm in the middle of a
rather difficult project, and I took the day off today to get this
together.

Staying leery is probably healthy.
Looking at _90's Configure, I see we'd have to change some
dependencies to move the sfio sanity checking earlier in the script.
I'd probably be inclined to do this by merging stuff into a single unit
(right after checking whether sfio is available, check whether it's
useful) and giving the whole thing a ?Y:TOP directive.

FWIW, the Beta Zvoid is alive and kicking on Linux 2.0.28.
You might want to put this in too. (The patches to hv.h are mostly
to an unused macro that will be useful for extension writers).

Good. This here patch sets up the flag in a few more places (to avoid
redundant sigjmp()s which was why t/op/tie.t triggered execution
of docatch()). This patch fixes that flag leak.

Oops. Thanks for that report (Evil how the segfault doesn't show
up under `make test`. Evil.)
Try this patch. (I was being risque with the runlevel pretense...)

Finally, here it is. Unfortunately, I cannot remember how it was lost
from the list.

Ok, here's a patch for the perl_call_*() problems with error traps,
meant for 5.004 (hope I didn't miss the boat!).
This is a subset of the functionality contained in Michael Schroeder's
stack-of-stacks patch. The patch itself if simple: code that calls
runops() without explicitly setting up a jmp_buf sets a flag that
indicates doeval() is responsible for catching any longjmp()s
locally. The three places that call doeval() then call setjmp()
based on this flag.
This patch is binary compatible and minimal (as opposed to the
stack-of-stacks patch which has other issues involved, making it
more complicated). There's a testsuite with 9 tests (3_28 fails all
but one).

Close, but you overlooked the 'use English' in diagnostics.pm.

The broken $randbits test (no $ldflags) is just ignored under OS/2
anyway, so this should help.
