- This archive contains the source files for the RISC OS port (v1.51) of Perl
- 5.001 for those who wish to recompile it on their own machines. They are
- part of the full distribution so please read the documentation for that.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 1.51 does NOT include internet support, since it did not work. Please
- note Luke's comments below on the Utils library and the stat header. This
- release is supplied by me with the agreement of Luke.

- Unlike version 1.0, UnixLib is no longer used, but you will need a copy of
- Paul Moore's Utils library which is available from hensa (a043.arc) and
- probably other archives. The file sys/stat.h from this has been slightly
- altered (some extra fields added) to keep perl 5 happy and is included here.
- If you want to compile in the socket interface then you'll need a copy of
- NetLib too. This probably won't work anyway so you can leave it out and
- undefine the symbols HAS_SOCKET,I_NET_ERRNO and I_SYS_IOCTL which are in
- config.h.
-
- Please send any bugfixes, additions or suggestions to me rather than
- distributing other copies.
-
- Luke.
