22 compatibility to run XS code built with the older version).
23 Normally this should not change across maintenance releases.

25 Note that this only refers to an out-of-the-box build. Many non-default
26 options such as usemultiplicity tend to break binary compatibility
27 more often.

31 to include in @INC. See INSTALL for how this works.

46 local_patches -- list of locally applied less-than-subversion patches.
47 If you're distributing such a patch, please give it a name and a
48 one-line description, placed just before the last NULL in the array
49 below. If your patch fixes a bug in the perlbug database, please
50 mention the bugid. If your patch *IS* dependent on a prior patch,
51 please place your applied patch line after its dependencies. This
52 will help tracking of patch dependencies.
53
54 Please either use 'diff --unified=0' if your diff supports
55 that or edit the hunk of the diff output which adds your patch
56 to this list, to remove context lines which would give patch
57 problems. For instance, if the original context diff is
58
59 *** patchlevel.h.orig <date here>
60 --- patchlevel.h <date here>
61 *** 38,43 ***
62 --- 38,44 ---
63 ,"FOO1235 - some patch"
64 ,"BAR3141 - another patch"
65 ,"BAZ2718 - and another patch"
66 + ,"MINE001 - my new patch"
67 ,NULL
68 };
69
70 please change it to
71 *** patchlevel.h.orig <date here>
72 --- patchlevel.h <date here>
73 *** 41,43 ***
74 --- 41,44 ---
75 + ,"MINE001 - my new patch"
76 ,NULL
77 };
78
79 (Note changes to line numbers as well as removal of context lines.)
80 This will prevent patch from choking if someone has previously
81 applied different patches than you.

83 History has shown that nobody distributes patches that also
84 modify patchlevel.h. Do it yourself. The following perl
