Hi Nicholas Clark
That is fine. Now I am clear about your problem.
Thanks for your explanation.
Ok, Well , Mean time I applied all my Perl-5.8.4 changes to my
Perl-5.9.1 sources.
Is it possible to apply that patch to Perl-5.9.x development branch.
If this is possible, I will send my Perl-5.9.1-NetWare.patch immly as
Perl-5.9.2 is in the smoke as per Rafael Garcia-Suarez mail.
Thanks for your comments on my previous mail attached
Perl-5.8.4-NetWare patches.
I will incorporate all of your comments in the next patch.
Have a nice day.
Regards
K.Murugan

Don't send patches for 5.8.4
(This is what Dave was saying in the previous message)
Changes to 5.8.x are made by integrating them across from the
development
track.
The principle exception is for code no longer in the development branch,
such
as 5.005 threads.
I'm not going to apply bulk patches to 5.8.7-to be - instead I will wait
until
we verify that the code in the development branch is stable (in that it
doesn't break the build on any platforms we have access to or cause any
reported problems), and *then* it will be integrated to 5.8.x, the
maintenance
branch. I do this to try to keep the maintenance branch as stable as
possible.
In particular, I don't want to apply what are in your own words
significant
changes in one hit to stable, as it is almost certainly destabilising.
I realise that this may make your job harder, but you only have to deal
with
one platform. However, not doing this makes my job impossible, because
I'm
walking a tightrope of trying to keep every platform still working.
(job, because I'm doing this on a volunteer basis, as are the other core
perl developers)
