Yes, that's what I mean. No changes to metaunits at all. Remove that part from uconfig.h, regenerate Configure and the Porting files, and the base is done.

I don't know whether those variables were actually used at all. Nick and acme just copy the hints and Configure and friends, and it should still work. With "Our" I mean "blead" and in the wider sense of the word, all versions of perl still maintained. To be honoust, most of my plans with the Configuration environment were bombed by Jarkko, when he told me that all the old versions still used the same environment, that's why the 5005threads are not removed from Configure -- H.Merijn Brand Amsterdam Perl Mongers (http://amsterdam.pm.org/) using perl-5.6.1, 5.8.0, & 5.9.x, and 806 on HP-UX 10.20 & 11.00, 11i, AIX 4.3, SuSE 8.2, and Win2k. http://www.cmve.net/~merijn/ http://archives.develooper.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] send smoke reports to: [EMAIL PROTECTED], QA: http://qa.perl.org
