Looking at this, I'd say that you should be able to craft this into hints/posix-bc.sh I'm not saying it's wrong, but we'd rather not change Configure if the hints can do it. If you do, please add the comments you've stated here > Patch 2 is needed due to floating point limits of the BS2000 machines.

Doesn't look wrong, but I leave it up to others to apply/reject (with reason) My main restriction is that if you are able to take bison restrictions away in patch 3 why the would not promote to the tests. If you catch it here in the test, and some other (non-core module) would expect the `normal' behaviour, we're in trouble I cannot apply right now, but if there is no comment, 2 and 3 will go in tomorrow -- 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
