There may have been a need to add that patch for aesthetic reasons during the devlopment of recent releases of perl. But there is no mention of such a patch for the README.os390 that ships with perl 5.8.0. You migh want to re-unpack the source for perl in a clean unused directory. You might also want to re-read the online version of the README.os390 file at, for example: http://perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/README.os390.html I find in the perl 5.8.0 distribution only this mention of perly.c: > grep perly.c README.os390 of EBCDIC versions of parser files such as perly.c, perly.h, and x2p/a2p.c. > and I find no mention of makedepend.SH in that distribution: > grep makedepend.SH README.os390 > I hope that helps.
