As before, this is a "guru only" port. If you know what you are
doing, go ahead and use it. If not - HANDS OFF!
Perl 5.6.1 will be committed to "base" FreeBSD in a week or 2.
really want it.
This is still marked FORBIDDEN as there may be all sorts of horrible
incompatabilities with the perl5 in "base", but folks who are willing
to override this and experiment are welcome.
Consider this to be only partially supported. I'll happily commit
patches and fixes, but I don't want to answer too many questions.
Sorry!
/usr/bin/perl a while ago. It works with 5.003 and 5.004-tobe.
I can't test it on freefall (I don't have a setuid script to play with)
but it works at home. I'll test on thud later.
Every setuid script found on a partition mounted "nosuid" will not be executed
and "Permission Denied" will be displayed.
It won't be in soo-to-be-released 5.004 because it is not a FreeBSD speciific
problem but it will be dealt with in 5.004_01 (maintenance release).

[The rush to 5.003 couldn't integrate this, so here it is]
The following is a patch for perltrap.pod, from 5.003 (also 5.002).
It integrates the latest version of my simple 425traps
document. 425traps demonstrated, with examples, all of the traps
which have been discovered and sent to me, which have bitten
folks making the transition from perl4 to perl5. It also gave
an example for each one, including all of the existing perl4
traps in perltrap.pod.
As always, if you discover something that isn't documented in
one form or another in here, and isn't an official (or at least
reported) bug, drop me a line with it. Also, when or if any
of these is ever formally declared a bug, I'll take it out.
