System: perl version 1.0 Patch #: 9 Priority: HIGH for SysV sites Subject: 3 portability problems From: pttesac!Marnix!vanam (Marnix (ain't unix!) A. van\ Ammers) Description: There's a #define YYDEBUG; in perl.h that ought to be #define YYDEBUG 1. Interesting that it works the former way on any systems at all. Patch 2 was defective and introduced a couple of lines with missing right parens. Learn something old every day... Some awks can't handle awk '$6 != "" {print substr($6,2,100)}' </tmp/Cppsym2$$ ;; if field 6 doesn't exist. Changed conditional to NF > 5. There was also a problem that I fixed in metaconfig that involved Configure grepping .SH files out of MANIFEST when the .SH was only in the commentary. This doesn't affect perl's Configure because there aren't any comments containing .SH in the MANIFEST file. But that's the nice thing about metaconfig--you generate a new Configure script and also get the changes you don't need (yet). Fix: From rn, say "| patch -d DIR", where DIR is your perl source directory. Outside of rn, say "cd DIR; patch <thisarticle". If you don't have the patch program, apply the following by hand, or get patch. 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: Larry Wall lwall@jpl-devvax.jpl.nasa.gov If you send a mail message of the following form it will greatly speed processing: Subject: Command @SH mailpatch PATH perl 1.0 LIST ^ note the c where PATH is a return path FROM ME TO YOU in Internet notation, 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).
