G'day All,
NeXT is going ot be shipping Perl5 with their next OS release and I have been
busily porting 5.001m to it.
I have a couple of questions?
1> Where can I find the sources for the metaconf which produces Configure. I
can't find it in the distribution.
2> Next supports the concept of MABs. I have been introducing these into the
makefiles and make generators piece meal but it doesn't sit neatly with the
'archlib' stuff. At the moment I have introduced a new compile and link flag
called 'arch' that is resolved by cflags, MakeMaker and Makefile.SH. Does any
other port out there use something similar to the Next Multi-Architecture
Binary?
3> Next is introducing a new variant on shared libraries that make a
distinction between a shared library and a loadable module. As far as I can
tell the make script that produces libperl and MakeMaker which produces the
loadable modules assume exactly the same format with linking. I would like to
introduce this distinction.
All comments and suggestions would be gratefully received.
