    Guess I should forward this from ports to current... apologies to
	those who will be seeing this twice.

Subject: Perl 5.001

    Just finished building and testing perl 5.001 with all extensions
on my 950322-SNAP machine.  I get the following errors running the
testsuite:

cmd/for........FAILED on test 1
op/time........FAILED on test 5
lib/bigint.....FAILED on test 61
lib/bigintpm...FAILED on test 7
Failed 4/90 tests, 95.56% okay.

    None of these were present when compiled with gcc 2.6.2 on a
950210 machine.  The 2.6.2-compiled perl5 also fails now.

    I noticed this when running the cmd/for test:

% /usr/local/bin/perl for.t
1..7
#1      :10: eq :10:
#1      :0. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10: eq :0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10:
not ok 1
ok 2
ok 3
ok 4
ok 5
ok 6
ok 7

    The first loop prints out a "0." instead of a "0".  This anomaly
also caused gcc to fail when compiling the extension modules (because
perl was generating array subscripts with 0. instead of 0).  Anyone
have a gcc 2.6.2/pre-950322 machine to test this?
