list of each modification.  If you'd like more detailed information,
please consult the comments in the patches on which the relevant
release of Perl is based.  (Patches can be found on any CPAN
site, in the .../src/5.0 directory for full version releases,
or in the .../src/5/0/unsupported directory for sub-version
