I'm not being helped by lies and inconsistencies in awk here. Solaris 9's
manpage claims that awk uses the same regular expressions as egrep. Not true:
$ awk '/^#define[ ]+PERL_.*[^\\]$/ {printf "%s=%s\n",$2,$3}' patchlevel.h
PERL_REVISION=5
PERL_VERSION=11
PERL_SUBVERSION=0
PERL_VERSION_STRING=STRINGIFY(PERL_REVISION)
PERL_API_REVISION=5
PERL_API_VERSION=11
PERL_API_SUBVERSION=0
$ egrep '^#define[ ]+PERL_.*[^\\]$' patchlevel.h
#define PERL_REVISION 5 /* age */
#define PERL_VERSION 11 /* epoch */
#define PERL_SUBVERSION 0 /* generation */
#define PERL_API_REVISION 5 /* Adjust manually as needed. */
#define PERL_API_VERSION 11 /* Adjust manually as needed. */
#define PERL_API_SUBVERSION 0 /* Adjust manually as needed. */
nawk behaves the same as egrep. But awk is what we use...
