Does sticking "Copyright The Perl Foundation" at the top of a file constitute a legal transfer of copyright? Which is what I've been doing but It's my understanding that copyright can only be transfered by a written argument. This next statement isn't intending to stir up a flame-war but does TPF

TODO bugs

Hi Folks, As part of my RT cleanup, I've decided that TODO bugs should have there status set to 'open'. The rational behind this is two fold: a) if it's really a valid TODO item then it is an open issue (where as new TODO item would theoretically be pending review) and b) to reduce the number of

I promptly sent a follow-up after I spotted this, but it didn't seem to make it into RT. Well spotted! (I'd been checking that an HP-UX-related patch didn't break things) I also think that it would also be cleaner to move the lines const char* parrot_config_ptr; unsigned int parrot_config_size;

Hi there, Here's a proposed patch (for review, not application) to generate src/extend.c from vtable.tbl. It has some limitations: - I'm not sure if the Makefile magic is perfect - it doesn't pick up all of the C types used in vtable.tbl - it makes everything it understands in that file availabl

In the use case where the same pbc exists in multiple places in a filesystem (or is renamed during run, or lives on a filesystem without a good definition of "same place"), it's necessary to detect when a load is redundant. I'm planning to require a UUID in the pbc header which would make each pbc
