FWIW my list
MUST do
-------
• Keep Configure and friends, as patched by the porters in sync
with meta/dist. This is backporting. Tedious and boring. Will
just need to keep track of what is going on.
WANT do
-------
• Up meta to 4.x (few month of work with - hopefully - a lot of
communication with the author of meta/dist). Low prio. Should
do to not make this a massive assignment.
• Unpack on streams:
while (my ($id, $data) = unpack "Cv/a", $fh) {
Will read and forward from handle $fh. The only current workaround
is to make it two phased using read or sysread
while (read $fh, my $dta, 3) {
my ($id, $len) = unpack "Cv", $dta;
read $fh, $dta, $len;
