Re: truncate with file name does not work (with patch)
The prototype for truncate was changed so that perl won't die
with C<use strict;> when the first arg is a bareword (filehandle).
I think it was Tom (as in "tchrist") who brought this up.
Here's a patch that undoes the damage, makes it work with
C<use strict;>, and adds to the testsuite.

FAKE typeglobs seriously busted (with patch)
Handling of fake typeglobs (scalars that are really globs
in disguise) is seriously busted since 5.002 (it wasn't
so in 5.001n).
The problem is that mg_get() on a glob calls gv_efullname()
which might coerce its first arg to a string.
Sub-critical patch to conceivably fix some %SIG problems. (Shared hash key
weren't being properly detected by some of the sig magic, but as shared
hash keys wouldn't normally be used in %SIG it's unlikely this is a
significant problem.)
This patch changes neither behavior nor performance. However, it does
reduce code size and improve maintainability by combining some common
code in gv_fullname() and gv_efullname().

perl 5.003_04: malloc.c
A patch to perl5.003_02/malloc to give a sensible error abort() message

Patch for LONG_MAX & co.
Sorry about adding yet another #ifdef forest, but hopefully this
should resolve the *_MAX issues permanently. It adds to the
previously defined PERL_LONG_MAX, PERL_LONG_MIN, and PERL_ULONG_MAX
symbols the complete set of
/PERL_U?(CHAR|SHORT|INT|LONG)_(MAX|MIN)/, and installs aliases to
those from /(I|U)(8|16|32|V)_(MAX|MIN)/ so that for any standard
Perl typedef, like I32 or UV, you can reference I32_MAX or UV_MIN,
and get appropriate figures. All references to LONG_(MIN|MAX) are
changed appropriately.
The .c changes have the side effect of making cast_uv properly use quad
limits if quads are in use, but longs aren't 64 bit. Hopefully this all
works, but I don't have any handy Crays to try it out on.
Add notes on perl's internal types, specifically Quad_t and IV.

still the same as in 5.003_02, namely don't use
any fancy new PerlIO stuff.
Don't look for sigvec() since we don't actually use it.
(Plus, it used to print an alarming misleading message about
race conditions.)
Look for stdio's _filbuf under the possible names of
_filbuf, __filbuf, and _fill.
New $useshrplib variable to control whether we build a shared
libperl.so. The name of the library is in $libperl.
Always install it in $installarchlib/CORE/$libperl.
Check for <sys/resource.h> and <sys/wait.h> for NetBSD.
Replace old $altmake stuff with newer autoconf-ish
$make_set_make, which checks if $make sets $(MAKE). Now you
choose an alternate make with sh Configure -Dmake=gmake (or
whatever).
Remove 'ln' for the list of essential commands. Simulate
it with 'cp' if necessary.
Change `logname` prompts to handle extra gratuitous spaces in
Ultrix output.
Autodetect os2.
Fix silly bug in checking for fully-qualified names in /etc/hosts.
Generalize Gconvert tests. Give correct and more useful
error messages.
Use $obj_ext instead of literal '.o' in the dynaloader test.
Include appropriate header files in bcopy() and memcpy()
tests. Note whether memmove is available.
Check whether struct sigaction works (needed for Solaris 2.5
with -Xc).
Include appropriate header files for randbits test.
