I know I'm coming (very) late to the game, but why are we making the code XPG6 and C99 conformant? I certainly don't do that for perl, and i general we don't make such changes to external code. And have we any plans to get the changes you've made integrated into the upstream source, so that we don't have to do this horrid dance indefinitely? -- Alan Burlison --
