#perlhack - How to hack at the Perl internals

#DESCRIPTION

Does concept match the general goals of Perl?, Where is the implementation?, Backwards compatibility, Could it be a module instead?, Is the feature generic enough?, Does it potentially introduce new bugs?, Does it preclude other desirable features?, Is the implementation robust?, Is the implementation generic enough to be portable?, Is the implementation tested?, Is there enough documentation?, Is there another way to do it?, Does it create too much work?, Patches speak louder than words

#Keeping in sync

rsync'ing the source tree, Using rsync over the LAN, Using pushing over the NFS, rsync'ing the patches

#Why rsync the source tree

It's easier to rsync the source tree, It's more reliable

#Why rsync the patches

It's easier to rsync the patches, It's a good reference, Finding a start point, Finding how to fix a bug, Finding the source of misbehaviour

#SYNOPSIS
#DESCRIPTION
#Unpacking
#Setup and utilities
#Configure

Don't turn on the compiler optimization flag "-O". There's a bug in the compiler (APAR PQ18812) that generates some bad code the optimizer is on, As VM/ESA doesn't fully support the fork() API programs relying on this call will not work. I've replaced fork()/exec() with spawn() and the standalone exec() with spawn(). This has a side effect when opening unnamed pipes in a shell script: there is no child process generated under

#testing anomalies
#Usage Hints

When using perl on VM/ESA please keep in mind that the EBCDIC and ASCII character sets are different. Perl builtin functions that may behave differently under EBCDIC are mentioned in the perlport.pod document.

#ExtUtils::MakeMaker::FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions About MakeMaker

#DESCRIPTION
#Philosophy and History

Why not just use <insert other build config tool here>?, What's Module::Build and how does it relate to MakeMaker?, pure perl. no make, no shell commands, easier to customize, cleaner internals, less cruft

#Module Writing

How do I keep my $VERSION up to date without resetting it manually?, What's thisMETA.yml thing and how did it get in myMANIFEST?!

#XS

How to I prevent "object version X.XX does not match bootstrap parameter Y.YY" errors?, How do I make two or more XS files coexist in the same directory?
