The podchecker much prefers a forward slash in F<symbian/TODO>

It looks for the file within the F<> - on *nix, 'symbian\TODO' doesn't exist,
so the line is flagged as a known issue. On Windows, it does exist (because
at the API level, / and \ are both valid as directory separators), so there is
no known issue, and the test fails with a request to delete the known issue.

README.symbian is not consistent in its use of backward or forward slashes
inside F<> markup, so this isn't the first use of a forward slash.

(The podchecker has other exemption rules for F<>, hence why this doesn't
matter in some cases.)

Using nfreeze to store an int larger than one byte produces a
frozen representation that thaws into a stringified integer, without
my having done string operations on the scalar beforehand.

I've confirmed this bug with the three versions I had available to me:
5.8.9 on 64-bit CentOS 4, 5.12.1 on 64-bit OS X 10.6, and
5.14.0 on 64-bit Debian squeeze.

The constants involved in the comparisons get created as 32-bit integers,
which wrap around and cause the comparison to yield true when it shouldn't.

This patch casts the constants before using them, which should make this

Allow ‘sub x :lvalue’ to apply to XSUBs and stubs

This was disabled in 5.12 (with a warning) by commit 885ef6f5, because
applying the attribute to a Perl sub isn’t effective: it does not mod-
ify the op tree accordingly.

But applying an attribute to an XSUB after the fact is perfectly
fine, and is the only way to do it (either with declarative syntax or
attributes.pm).  This commit restores the old behaviour of declarative
for XSUBs.  (attributes.pm never stopped working.)

an undefined subroutine if it happens to have been assigned from else-
where.  It does not make sense to allow the :method attribute to be
