I can't say I'm a particularly skilled perl porter (in the true sense of the words), so I wouldn't be qualified to help with the actual code, but maybe give you some hints how contribution of patches works: The sources are managed with git. We maintain a document that describes access to the source repository and general policy here: http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/blob/HEAD:/pod/perlrepository.pod In a nutshell, do git clone git://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git perl-git and apply your changes and build/test. When you're satisfied, create patch file(s): git format-patch -M origin.. and send them to perlbug@perl.org with a description of your changes. Include the patch files as attachments. If you don't want them applied but just want to put them out there for comments, send them to the mailing list instead. This is all laid out in much more detail in the above document. If in doubt, just ask here or on IRC (irc.perl.org #p5p). Best regards, SteffenThread Previous | Thread Next
