OK, here is what I have done for comp/proto.t. More could probably
be added, but where do you stop.
I did find something weird though which caused the script to fail
just by changing the order of definitions ???

Patch: make hints files warn about db-recno failures
Herewith some minor Configure and hints patches against 5.003_19:
1. Amend Configure so that MachTen's antediluvian test, which holds that
-1 is not an integer, does not bleat during non-blocking IO tests. (Tom
Christiansen posted a while back about several instances of this sort of
thing; this patch addresses the only one I can see. Are there
still others?)
2. Make hints files for A/UX, FreeBSD, and MachTen give notification
of the db-recno test failures caused by these systems' old db
libraries. This patch due mainly to Roderick Schertler, who implemented
a suggestion I made. I hope it's OK to put a shared stub in hints/. It
has the .shx extension so that it doesn't show up in Configure's list of
systems for which there are hints. It may be that the hints for some
version of IRIX need the same tweak, but I couldn't work out which one
from Martijn Koster's recent posting, and so left well enough alone.

OK, here is a patch which fixes this. It requires a modification
to perly.y and perly.c (I cannot re-generate perly.c here
but it is a simple fix)
it chamges the output of the above script to
Warning: something's wrong at yyy line 3.

Opcode does not supercede Safe. Safe is now implemented on top of Opcode.
Opcode is purely functional. Safe implements OO 'compartments'.
I'd suggest you say something like:
=head2 New Opcode Module and Revised Safe Module
A new Opcode module supports the creation, manipulation and application
of opcode masks. The revised Safe module has a new API and is implemented
using the new Opcode module. Users are encouraged to read the new Opcode
and Safe documentation. (Note too, that after 5.004 is installed, you will
no longer be able to run Safe under the 5.003 binary.)

+ This is similar to the existing version checking mechanism in the

Here's my current patch to clean/reset global variables. I trust more

I did not test MULTIPLICITY extensively, but a simple test case seems to

Actually, there is a case for it, since you may want to profile

Here's a simple patch that offers the best of both worlds. I have added
a new flag CVf_NODEBUG, that can be used to turn off the DB::sub
indirection for specific CVs. This is most likely to be used
on XSUBs that must depend on the calling scope's structure
(which C<-d> alters), but can be used on the CV of plain subs
as well.
This facility will also be useful in Dprof, where one can conceivably
turn off the profiling of all subs except the target one in the
interest of accurately timing the target sub's performance.
I do the following now in the BOOT: section of Alias.xs to
disable debugging of Alias::attr():
BOOT:
{
GV *gv = gv_fetchpv("Alias::attr", FALSE, SVt_PVCV);
if (gv && GvCV(gv))
CvNODEBUG_on(GvCV(gv));
}
Perlanoids will be happy to note that this patch has no effect
unless the -d switch is used.

In a correct package - FOO. I think it would call some AUTOLOAD

Thanks, I found this too (and fixed it). I think it should work better
now. So far only other places which I found broken by my previous
patch are "overloading + AUTOLOADing", and "->can + AUTOLOAD".
These 3 cases work now (after correcting a bug in overload.t's AUTOLOAD).

Finally I traced why MakeMaker runs wrongly under debugger: debugger
function calling sequence was assuming that
GvCV(CvGV(cv)) == cv
for non-anonymous subs (ne END). MakeMaker managed to break it by
*A::B = \&C::D;
eval 'sub C::D {new one}';
After this CvGV(\&A::B) is *C::D, but &{*C::D} is the "new one".
Patch follows (note that in this case we do not sacrifice having a
subroutine name in debugger output ;-).

I put forward the only chunk which may be controversal, since it may
have a minor performance penalty. It is independent of the others, so
it can be freely deleted.
The manipulations which correctly propagate to method calls:
a) Pruning globs: delete $B::{method}
b) Undefing subroutines: undef &B::method;
c) Importing: *B::method = \&mymethod;

perllocale.pod -- second draft
My notes on this are in a second mailing in this thread. Please read them
before you respond to this mail. Thanks.
[editor's note: he is probably referring to his first draft,
<v03007809aedafbad79e9@[194.51.248.70]>, notes below]
Subject: Draft perllocale.pod -- proposed as replacement for perli18n.pod
Herewith a draft of perllocale.pod. It's based on Chip's perl18n.pod,
but beefed up considerably, and rearranged a bit.
I'd like to see the name changed, as "i18n" sounds too buzzy to me,
and there was a discussion on p5p some months back which I thought
ended up with the same view. (Chapter and verse can be supplied if
you want.) But if consensus (or expedience) is now for perli18n, I
shan't shed more than a few tears.
If consensus is that this pod is close enought to being ready for
prime time for inclusion in 5.004, I'll undertake to munge it in
response to comments, and to fix up all the necessary
cross-referencing in other pods (there's quite a lot of this) by the
end of this week.
If consensus is that this pod can't be made good enough soon enough
(or may never be good enough), I'll adopt a more relaxed timetable (or
none at all): I wouldn't want to hold things up.
May I ask as many people as possible to scrutinize the spelling,
English, mark up and so. And to think about the points in the
editor's notes. And PLEASE to try the examples on your own hosts.
Thanks.

In this case the extensions would not be able to access "old-format"
16-bit functions. Not that I know any extension which tries to do
this...
What is bad with PERL_OFFSET?

I sent this before, but it slipped through the cracks:
currently TWO_POT_OPTIMIZE and DEBUGGING together

Here's a patch for the problem reported in the reference above.
Simpler test cases:
% perl -we '$_ = "atatttta"; print "|$1|$2|\n" if /((t|t){3})/;'
says "|t||" instead of instead of "|ttt|t|"; and
