Code freeze

Code freeze is near !

I'm just waiting for those two updates:
* see if the overload64.t failures settle down
* latest module updates with VMS fixes from Jos.

The atoll() warning on FreeBSD is also a bit worrying, but
it doesn't
seem to be harmful. I need a few tuits for that...

I've checked in a roughly complete version of
perl5100delta.
Please review it. It probably needs some reordering.
There might be missing things (notably module updates and
bug fixes).
It doesn't contain changes already released in 5.8.8, by
choice.
Some attributions need to be added, too.

A few things that remain TODO in perl5100delta are marked
with =for.

For dual-life module maintainers :
please check that your modules are in line with the core
version. Many
modules have changes that will need to be backported to
cpan. Here's
a list given by Porting/corecpan.pl: (it's maybe not
complete)

    Attribute::Handlers
    CGI::Util
    Cwd
    Data:umper
    Exporter and Exporter::Heavy
    ExtUtils::MakeMaker and ExtUtils::MM_Unix
    several File::Spec: modules
    IO and IO::Socket
    Locale::Maketext
    Log::Message::Simple
    MIME::Base64
    Memoize
    Module::Build
    NEXT
    Pod::Perldoc
    Shell
    Time::Piece
    Win32

There is (at least) one new documentation missing:

Excuse me if this has been discussed before.

Perhaps now is a good time to reconsider the format for the
delta
document names. 5100 isn't particularly clear, and 5.8.0
had
perl58delta, not perl580delta, which exposes the problem:
perl510delta
would be ambiguous with the (nonexistent) 5.1.0 delta
document.

I suggest renaming the whole bunch: perldelta5_8_0,
perldelta5_10delta.

Still sucks with alphabetical sorting, but at least it's
easier for
humans.

That's why I chose 5100 and not 510. I don't think that's
much ambiguous.

Not sure. I'm used to the old names. And the new ones are
longer to type!
We could, however, rename perl5[68]delta to
perl5[68]0delta.

And assume there won't ever be a 5.8.10?

This makes no sense, ignore that question

Attached is the patch for Log::Message::Simple, which is
just a  
version bump.

The core changes (just docs) have been uploaded to CPAN:

Changes for 0.04    Mon Oct 22 14:10:23 2007
============================================
* Documentation nits. Users of 0.02 are not
   required to upgrade.

   How do I prove I'm not crazy to people who are?

The proposed new names would all start with
"perldelt", whereas the
current ones are unqiue in their first 8 characters -- which
I thought
was important on some platform, somewhere, and hence the
reason for the
somewhat awkward names?

What about this patch?

5.porters/2007/10/msg129819.html

(I've attached the patch to this message as well for your
convenience.)
