Some versions of IRIX are reported to have +problems with sort when the locale is other than C.

A very brief summary is: + +o Visible Changes to Core Functionality + + -Support for BER compressed integers. See perlfunc.pod for + documentation on the 'w' option. + + -untaint support added to IO extension. + +o Changes in Core Internals + + -Perl's realloc is once again called 'Myremalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC), + as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility + with 5.003.
