Hi All 

Makepatch

   I am planning  to submit the Perl-5.8.4 patches for NetWare. For
that , I am using  makepatch utility  to create  the patch.   Well,  I
was able to create the patch  using the following command without any
problem.

makepatch-2.00_12/script/makepatch
/home/km/perl-5.8.4-source-downloaded 
/home/km/workarea/perl-with-changes/ > perl.patch

When applied the patch  using  applypatch  into  to my source to test
my patches , I found that  it missed some of  my new ( 3) files which
are not in MANIFEST file and one old file which is in MANIFEST file  .
Earlier I used to create the patches without any problems  as mentioned
above.

I tried all the options  which are mentioned in the patching document.
I am not sure what is happening here.

Can anybody  tell me  what is happening here and how to correct this
problem . 
I went through the  /Porting/Patching document also.

Perl-5.9.1

Is it  required to send the Perl-5.8.4 and Perl-5.9.1  separately.    I
want to send Perl-5.8.4 patches and  that should be applied to
Perl-5.9.1 also.

I apologize in advance  , if this is a simple question as I  am 
sending the patches first time. 

Have a nice day.  Thanks in advance for your help. 

Regards
K.Murugan
