This is my patch patch.1g for perl5.001.

This patch only includes updates to the lib/ directory and
the removal of the pod/modpods.  The main things are the following:

	The modpods are now embedded in their corresponding .pm files.

	The Grand AutoLoader patch.

	Updates to lib/ExtUtils/xsubpp by Paul Marquess 
	<pmarquess@bfsec.bt.co.uk>.

	Minor changes to a very few modules and pods.


To apply, change to your perl directory, run the commands above, then
apply with 
    patch -p1 -N  < thispatch.

After you apply this patch, you should go on to apply patch.1h and
patch.1i before reConfiguring and building.

Patch and enjoy,

+=head1 NAME
+
+IPC::Open2, open2 - open a process for both reading and writing
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    use IPC::Open2;
+    $pid = open2('rdr', 'wtr', 'some cmd and args');
+      # or
+    $pid = open2('rdr', 'wtr', 'some', 'cmd', 'and', 'args');
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The open2() function spawns the given $cmd and connects $rdr for
+reading and $wtr for writing.  It's what you think should work 
+when you try
+
+    open(HANDLE, "|cmd args");
+
+open2() returns the process ID of the child process.  It doesn't return on
+failure: it just raises an exception matching C</^open2:/>.
+
+=head1 WARNING 
+
+It will not create these file handles for you.  You have to do this yourself.
+So don't pass it empty variables expecting them to get filled in for you.
+
+Additionally, this is very dangerous as you may block forever.
+It assumes it's going to talk to something like B<bc>, both writing to
+it and reading from it.  This is presumably safe because you "know"
+that commands like B<bc> will read a line at a time and output a line at
+a time.  Programs like B<sort> that read their entire input stream first,
+however, are quite apt to cause deadlock.  
+
+The big problem with this approach is that if you don't have control 
+over source code being run in the the child process, you can't control what it does 
+with pipe buffering.  Thus you can't just open a pipe to "cat -v" and continually
+read and write a line from it.
+
+=head1 SEE ALSO
+
+See L<open3> for an alternative that handles STDERR as well.

+=head1 NAME
+
+IPC::Open3, open3 - open a process for reading, writing, and error handling
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    $pid = open3('WTRFH', 'RDRFH', 'ERRFH' 
+		    'some cmd and args', 'optarg', ...);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Extremely similar to open2(), open3() spawns the given $cmd and
+connects RDRFH for reading, WTRFH for writing, and ERRFH for errors.  If
+ERRFH is '', or the same as RDRFH, then STDOUT and STDERR of the child are
+on the same file handle.
+
+If WTRFH begins with ">&", then WTRFH will be closed in the parent, and
+the child will read from it directly.  if RDRFH or ERRFH begins with
+">&", then the child will send output directly to that file handle.  In both
+cases, there will be a dup(2) instead of a pipe(2) made.
+
+All caveats from open2() continue to apply.  See L<open2> for details.
