System: perl version 2.0
Patch #: 8
Priority: HIGH on Suns
Subject: globs fail on Suns
From: peterli@mis.ucsf.EDU (Peter Li)
Description:
The op.stat test has a NULL dereference because patch2 was incomplete.
It shows up when trying to do file globs. Ordinarily I test on Suns
but this one snuck by somehow. Sorry. I promise I won't send any
more patches. Well, not for the next 8 hours, anyway...
Fix: From rn, say "| patch -p -N -d DIR", where DIR is your perl source
directory. Outside of rn, say "cd DIR; patch -p -N <thisarticle".
If you don't have the patch program, apply the following by hand,
or get patch (version 2.0, latest patchlevel (12 currently)).
After patching:
make
make test
make install
If patch indicates that patchlevel is the wrong version, you may need
to apply one or more previous patches, or the patch may already
have been applied. See the patchlevel.h file to find out what has or
has not been applied. In any event, don't continue with the patch.
If you are missing previous patches they can be obtained from me:

If you send a mail message of the following form it will greatly speed
processing:
Subject: Command
@SH mailpatch PATH perl 2.0 LIST
^ note the c
where PATH is a return path FROM ME TO YOU either in Internet notation,
or in bang notation from some well-known host, and LIST is the number
of one or more patches you need, separated by spaces, commas, and/or
hyphens. Saying 35- says everything from 35 to the end.
You can also get the patches via anonymous FTP from
jpl-devvax.jpl.nasa.gov (128.149.8.43).
