From: cgf AT bbc DOT com (Chris Faylor) Subject: New perl5.004 patches -- send to the whole list? 12 Jun 1997 06:53:26 -0700 Approved: cygnus DOT gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: Reply-To: cgf AT bbc DOT com X-Newsreader: trn 4.0-test57 (27 Apr 97) Original-To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com X-Mailer: Perl5 Mail::Internet v1.28 Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com I have a new set of patches against perl5.004 which produce a fairly functional version of perl. I've got the percentage of successful tests up to 90.13%. Most of the failures now have to do with things like umask and checks for protections that aren't supported under gnu-win32. This is all under Windows NT. I still haven't had the time to build this under Windows 95. My question: Should I post the patches to the list? The patch file is about 21K uuencoded. A number of people have expressed interest in this, so it is possible that the best way to distribute it is to send it to the entire list. -- http://www.bbc.com/ cgf AT bbc DOT com "Strange how unreal VMS=>UNIX Solutions Boston Business Computing the real can be." - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
