Hello all,

Good news, here is another snapshot of what will become 5.005_04. If
you are interested in 5.005_04 running fine on your platform of
choice, please try it out. If you don't, it's unlikely to work when
it's actually released ;-)

Note: 5.8.3 is latest, 5.6.2 is stable, 5.005_03 is old. 5.005_04 is
just for compilation fixes.

There have been a couple of patches since the first snapshot. The full
changelist is attached. This release should work fine under most
things (including FreeBSD and OpenBSD now). Feedback for all
platforms is very welcome.

It is available from the CPAN:
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/L/LB/LBROCARD/perl5.005_03-MAINT22178.tar.gz

Filename: perl5.005_03-MAINT22178.tar.gz
Size: 3746427 bytes (3.6M, how titchy compared to bleadperl!)
MD5: d4e0ab978fee70be360b7e3ac8a4313d

Still no amusing poems with this one, sorry, Leon

Here is a rather trivial patch that updates one of the files in the "vos"
subdir.

I keep an old copy of config_h.SH in there so I can see what changes. (It
has a funky name to prevent various clever bits of Makefile trickery from
recognizing it.) This lets me update my own private copy of config.h
easily. This patch updates my copy of config_h.SH to be the same as the
version in the main directory; no changes are needed to any other files.

I do not support the native (Configure-based) build method for this release
of perl. However, when perl5.005_03 is built using the scripts found in the
vos subdir, it builds just fine on current releases of VOS.

Thanks
PG

I think the following hints/linux.sh patch is appropriate. The first bit
matches what we've done in 5.8.x (and probably 5.6.x as well). The
setting "prefix=/usr" dates from when perl5 wasn't shipped standard on
nearly every linux distribution anyway.

The second bit just adds -fPIC instead of -fpic for SPARC. It's copied
directly from the 5.8.3 hint file.
