1This file documents the changes made to port Perl to the Stratus
2VOS operating system.
3
4For 5.6.1:
5     Updated "build.cm" to build perl using either the alpha or GA
6          version of POSIX.
7     Updated "Changes".
8     Updated "compile_perl.cm" to use either the alpha or GA
9          version of POSIX.
10     Split "config.def" into config.alpha.def and config.ga.def;
11          one for each version. Use the configure_perl.cm macro
12          to select the appropriate version.
13     Split "config.h" into config.alpha.h and config.ga.h. Use the
14          configure_perl.cm macro to select the appropriate version.
15     Updated "config.pl". It now diagnoses undefined (missing) and
16          unused substitution variables. When a new version of
17          Perl comes out, run "configure_perl.cm", add any missing
18          definitions to config.*.def, and remove any unused
19          definitions.
20     Removed "config_h.SH_orig". It is no longer needed.
21     Added "configure_perl.cm". It is used to configure perl so that
22          it can be built with either version of VOS POSIX.1 support.
23     Added "install_perl.cm" to install Perl into the appropriate
24          system directories.
25     Updated "perl.bind" to work with either the alpha or GA
26          version of POSIX.
27     Updated "vosish.h" to just use the standard "unixish.h" since
28          there are no changes needed at this time.
29
30After 5.005_63:
31     Supplied "config.pl" perl script that takes "config_h.SH_orig"
32          and "config.def" as input and produces "config.h.new".
33          With some luck, you will just need to edit "config.def"
34          to create a new port.
35     Updated "build.cm".
36     Updated "compile_perl.cm".
37     Added   "config.def".
38     Updated "config.h".
39     Added   "config.pl".
40     Updated "config_h.SH_orig".
41     Updated "perl.bind".
42     Updated "README.vos".
43     Updated "vos_dummies.c".
44     Updated "vosish.h".
45
46after 5.005_02:
47     Initial release.
48     Supplied "build.cm" command macro to build perl.
49     Supplied "Changes" to document the change history.
50     Supplied "compile_perl.cm" to launch processes to compile all
51          four versions of the Perl 5 binaries.
52     Supplied "config.h" to configure Perl 5 to VOS. Unfortunately,
53          since VOS does not have the configure tool, this file was
54          built by hand by editing "config_h.SH".
55     Supplied "config_h.SH_orig", which is the version of this file
56          that was current for version 5.005_02. Use this to discover
57          any subsequent changes to config_h.SH that must be
58          hand-copied into the real config.h.
59     Supplied "perl.bind" to control the VOS binder.
60     Supplied "README.vos" to describe the VOS port.
61     Supplied "test_vos_dummies.c" to test the VOS dummy functions.
62     Supplied "vos_dummies.c" to trap unimplemented POSIX functions.
63     Supplied "vosish.h" to configure Perl 5 to VOS.
