I'm going to be messing about in perl's guts again next week. The big VMS
things I'm planning on are getting the non-compiling things compiling on
VMS (perl's malloc, Ithreads, a MULTIPLICITY build) and making
configure.com take and save defaults, with symbol overrides. I'll add in a
question to make it skip the manifest check as well. (That should speed
things up for multiple rebuilds, especially on VAXen) If we're lucky we
should also be able to build a PERLSHR with sane image IDs and major/minor
version numbers so we can finally skip the whole "rebuild the world every
perl point release upgrade" thing. That and so I can finally ship prebuilt
module kits, amongst other things.
I know Peter's planning on abusing configure and subconfigure horribly (Go,
Peter! :) so does anyone else have any other goodies they'd like? Now'd be
the time to ask...
