You are awesome! Thank-you! 2007-11-i is yours!
If you want to push changes to github, you'll need to let me know your
username there. Otherwise patches to the list work a treat!
Volunteers.txt updated and pushed on master.
Cheerios,
Paul

You have a commit-bit! If for any reason git seems too tough, then you can
always use whatever you prefer locally, and just send me patches.
Cheerio,

Just need an opinion about the changes in:
[ 32257] By: nicholas on 2007/11/09 22:01:27
Log: Integrate:
[ 31456]
PerlFAQ sync.
[ 31559]
FAQ sync
Branch: maint-5.8/perl
!> pod/perlfaq.pod pod/perlfaq1.pod pod/perlfaq2.pod
!> pod/perlfaq4.pod pod/perlfaq5.pod pod/perlfaq7.pod
!> pod/perlfaq8.pod
It seems to me that all those changes are just about text alignment or
substituting perl{4,56} to Perl {4,5,6} - am I right in thinking that
this kind of changes do not need to go the delta pod and can be just
removed from my chunk straight?
Ta,
Eddy

The Perl FAQs are actually maintained separately from the Perl core, and on
an irregular basis they get pushed back into the core repository.

Looking over the changes reveals a number of things which are simple
formatting fixes, but I've noticed there are some expanded questions. Just
looking at 31456 at:
http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse/p/31456
I can see there's a new answer on configuring the CPAN shell to always place
code in your private directory, and a small rewrite on manipulating @INC.
While these are not particularly newsworthy, I'd make a one-liner under "New
Documentation"
The Perl FAQs (F<perlfaq1>..F<perlfaq9>) have been updated.
A lot of people seem to forget that Perl even comes with a rather extensive
set of FAQs, so I don't mind them getting a one-line reminder. ;)

I just pushed a half-way done of my branch to the repository.
Would be really great if someone could check that all those changes look sane before me going forward...

I would rate the changes as "awesomely brilliant". Yes, please continue
like this!
I'm also *very* happy to see /k going into Perl 5.8.9. From Eddy's
excellent summary:
Regular expression introduces C</k> modifier for matching along with
new perl variables C<${^PREMATCH}>, C<${^MATCH}>, C<${^POSTMATCH}>
which are equivalent to C<$`>, C<$&> and C<$'>, B<except> that they
are only guaranteed to be defined after a successful match that was
executed with the C</k> (keep-copy) modifier. The use of these
variables incurs no global performance penalty, unlike their
punctuation char equivalents (#32263).
All the very best,

Hey folks,
Btw, I should have mentioned that when pushing changes to my branch I didn't
do:
git pull
git merge master
Hopefully it won't cause any havoc.
Cheers,

You rock! Changes reviewed and merged. Thank-you very much indeed!
Cheerio,
