perl5.005_05-MAINT20070902
Leon Brocard
Perl 5.005 is a great version of Perl and still used by many people.
There have been a few distribution updates and tool changes which mean
that it no longer compiles cleanly everywhere, so I believe it's time
for a second maintenance release of perl5.005, which will lead to
perl5.005_05.
Please compile and make test this snapshot on as many platforms as possible:
http://perl5005.googlecode.com/files/perl5.005_05-MAINT20070902.tar.gz
This is a release candidate. I'm not interested in fixing warnings.
I'm hosting it over at Google Code, but will push things back to
Perforce when it is done:

Log: For newer FreeBSDs the return type of malloc() and free()
is being guessed wrong because the 5.005 configure doesn't
check that if the malloc.h exists that it doesn't simply do
"#error ..." as it does in a number of more recent OS -
I've copied in the test from the blead Configure and
jiggled a few things around and all is hunk-dory - with
this everything compiles and tests fine on
FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p4 (Thanks to Jonathan Stowe)

Marcus Holland-Moritz
thanks for your effort!
To compile on recent Gentoo systems, ext/IPC/SysV/SysV.xs needs
some tweakage. In blead, this was fixed by change #31702. However,
this doesn't work for 5.005, as HAS_GETPAGESIZE and HAS_SYSCONF
are not determined by Configure.
I'm pretty confident that the <asm/page.h> include isn't needed
on Linux. I've been testing this with a vanilla RedHat installs
back to RH 5.2 (Linux 2.0.36 #1 Tue Oct 13 22:17:11 EDT 1998),
and they work fine without the header. But there may be be some
platform dependency, so I think a safe approach would be to
remove the include for x86-Linux only. Here's a patch:
--- perl5.005_05-MAINT20070902/ext/IPC/SysV/SysV.xs 2007-05-31 16:59:31.000000000 +0200

With this, all tests pass on all my Linux systems.

Fixed by s/diag/_diag/g in the offending test file. (want a patch ?:)

Why does it still miss test_harness :)

This is because the -Duse64bitall did not correctly propagate to the ccflags,
so you end up with

It would require to change the ccflags from -Aa to -Ae +DD64, but then I
also need to change the lib search path etc etc

Er.. So I have a rail of "ok" but Test::More still thinks there's a
failing test.
OTOH, the same failures occur with 5.5.3 so at least they weren't
introduced by 5.5.5

Compilation and tests ok on WinXP/MSVC6 and RedHat9/gcc.
Installation of new version of Data::Dumper failed (tried only on
RedHat - it is hard to try anything on Windows with this version).

On Redhat 9 I had problems with following modules:
fail:
Data::Dumper
Storable
Time::HiRes
File::Temp (depends on Carp::Heavy, which is core only)
YAML
YAML::Syck
Test::NoWarnings
use 5.6:
Digest::MD5
MIME::Base64
HTML::Parser
Too many modules depend at least on one of them. As the only purpose
of new perl 5.005 is testing (anyone who is really using it already
got it installed), it is hard to do it.

I see failures in the compilation, but maybe the pure perl version
would work?

Storable should work back to 5.004, IIRC.
What is failing?

Storable.xs:4334: error: `PERL_LOADMOD_NOIMPORT' undeclared (first use in this function)
Storable.xs:4334: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
Storable.xs:4334: error: for each function it appears in.)
But even perl 5.10.0 fails to pass the CPAN version of Storable.
