James,
could you look into this patch and apply it if appropriate?
Obviously you are the person that knows best, whether
it can be applied right away or needs some fiddling or merging.
Yes. In line with my second post in RT 47902, I'm thinking that in step
#2, init::defaults, we should define a space within the
Parrot::Configure object in which we store our readings from the
%Config, $^O and other readings we take from the instance of Perl being
used to run Configure.pl ($^X, in other words). We'll take these
readings in that step and then assign them to "real" elements in the
Parrot::Configure object as needed. Later configuration steps which
need the "original" values will consult this special section.
I will work on this tonight and over the next few days.
