The .patch file is used in Configure and cflags.SH. (It might be used elsewhere, but I don't know.) Configure expects .patch to have just one field for perl_patchlevel. cflags.SH was modified by f6a80292c3db127d1561c118f409c1cffd1b55d9: http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/f6a80292c3db127d1561c118f409c1cffd1b55d9 to expect 4 fields. The comments, however, refer to this change as a "crude step forward". Since it hasn't been fully fleshed out, the attached patch "fixes" cflags.SH to expect just one field for now.Thread Next
