This file documents the changes made to port Perl to the Stratus
VOS operating system.
+For 5.10.0:
+ Added support for the syslog family of functions to vos.c.
+ This allows the source code to be built on versions of VOS
+ that do not support the syslog functions.
+
+For 5.9.0:
+ Removed support for building (mini) perl on VOS using
+ custom VOS command macros. Henceforth, perl must be built
+ using the native Configure script.
+
+For 5.8.4:
+ Updated "config.alpha.def", "config.ga.def", "build.cm" and
+ "perl.bind" to build this version of perl.
+
For 5.8.0:
Updated "config.alpha.def", "config.ga.def", "build.cm", and
"install_perl.cm" to use directory naming conventions that
are closer to the perl standard directory names.
+ Added "compile_full_perl.cm", "configure_full_perl.sh" and
+ "make_full_perl.sh" for building full perl.
+
For the first time, full perl can now be built on VOS using
its native Configure script and makefiles. See README.vos
for details.
