4For 5.7:
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.

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".

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".
24e8e380 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.
