Trying this today with Perl 5.14.2 on Darwin/PPC, I get better results:

#####
$ h2ph -d . while0.h
while0.h -> while0.ph

$ cat while0.ph
require '_h2ph_pre.ph';

no warnings qw(redefine misc);

unless(defined(&NOOP)) {
    sub NOOP () {       1;}
}
1;

$ perl -c while0.ph
while0.ph syntax OK
#####

If so, can we close this ticket?

Thank you very much.
