However, by going to that URL and clicking on the snapshot link of the most recent commit, he can get a tarball of that branch. For example, as of this writing, that tarball is available from: http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/snapshot/f4b5e624f453b3b841559cca80e0999c2ffdccc3.tar.gz Wiping out the build directory and unpacking a new tarball is inconvenient, but not impossible. As far as submitting patches, if GNU diff is not available but the older 5.8-era Perl is available, consider Algorithm::Diff from CPAN.
