The plan is to achieve the following goals by this import: 1. Faster build time (in comparison with 5.6.0). 2. Working standalone build - miniperl issues. 3. Support for NOSHARED=yes. 4. Working cross-platform build. 5. Move as many as possible modules to ports (debatable). 6. site directory before core in @INC (highly debatable). =Anton. -- May the tuna salad be with you.
