If we include pthread.buildlink3.mk, then build with Perl ithreads

Nuke the perl58-thread package. The perl package can now be forcibly
built with thread support by setting PERL5_USE_THREADS to "yes".

This should fix builds on non-NetBSD platforms.

bsd.pkg.mk. lang/perl58 now always builds perl58, while lang/perl58-thread

Perl-5.8.x and up are supposed to properly support pthreads if they're
available. The GNU pth support isn't quite there yet, so we can't build
with thread support on all platforms.

Incompatible Changes
There are no changes incompatible with 5.8.4.
Core Enhancements
Perl's regular expression engine now contains support for matching on the intersection of two Unicode character classes. You can also now refer to user-defined character classes from within other user defined character classes.
Modules and Pragmata
* Carp improved to work nicely with Safe. Carp's message reporting should now be anomaly free - it will always print out line number information.
* CGI upgraded to version 3.05
* charnames now avoids clobbering $_
* Digest upgraded to version 1.08
* Encode upgraded to version 2.01
* FileCache upgraded to version 1.04
* libnet upgraded to version 1.19
* Pod::Parser upgraded to version 1.28
* Pod::Perldoc upgraded to version 3.13
* Pod::LaTeX upgraded to version 0.57
* Safe now works properly with Carp
* Scalar-List-Utils upgraded to version 1.14
* Shell's documentation has been re-written, and its historical partial auto-quoting of command arguments can now be disabled.
* Test upgraded to version 1.25
* Test::Harness upgraded to version 2.42
* Time::Local upgraded to version 1.10
* Unicode::Collate upgraded to version 0.40
* Unicode::Normalize upgraded to version 0.30
Utility Changes
Perl's debugger
The debugger can now emulate stepping backwards, by restarting and rerunning all bar the last command from a saved command history.
h2ph
h2ph is now able to understand a very limited set of C inline functions -- basically, the inline functions that look like CPP macros. This has been introduced to deal with some of the headers of the newest versions of the glibc. The standard warning still applies; to quote h2ph's documentation, you may need to dicker with the files produced.
Installation and Configuration Improvements
Perl 5.8.5 should build cleanly from source on LynxOS.
Selected Bug Fixes
* The in-place sort optimisation introduced in 5.8.4 had a bug. For example, in code such as
@a = sort ($b, @a)
the result would omit the value $b. This is now fixed.
* The optimisation for unnecessary assignments introduced in 5.8.4 could give spurious warnings. This has been fixed.
* Perl should now correctly detect and read BOM-marked and (BOMless) UTF-16 scripts of either endianness.
* Creating a new thread when weak references exist was buggy, and would often cause warnings at interpreter destruction time. The known bug is now fixed.
* Several obscure bugs involving manipulating Unicode strings with substr have been fixed.
* Previously if Perl's file globbing function encountered a directory that it did not have permission to open it would return immediately, leading to unexpected truncation of the list of results. This has been fixed, to be consistent with Unix shells' globbing behaviour.
* Thread creation time could vary wildly between identical runs. This was caused by a poor hashing algorithm in the thread cloning routines, which has now been fixed.
* The internals of the ithreads implementation were not checking if OS-level thread creation had failed. threads->create() now returns undef in if thead creation fails instead of crashing perl.
New or Changed Diagnostics
* Perl -V has several improvements
o correctly outputs local patch names that contain embedded code snippets or other characters that used to confuse it.
o arguments to -V that look like regexps will give multiple lines of output.
o a trailing colon suppresses the linefeed and ';' terminator, allowing embedding of queries into shell commands.
o a leading colon removes the 'name=' part of the response, allowing mapping to any name.
* When perl fails to find the specified script, it now outputs a second line suggesting that the user use the -S flag:
$ perl5.8.5 missing.pl
Can't open perl script "missing.pl": No such file or directory.
Use -S to search $PATH for it.
Changed Internals
The Unicode character class files used by the regular expression engine are now built at build time from the supplied Unicode consortium data files, instead of being shipped prebuilt. This makes the compressed Perl source tarball about 200K smaller. A side effect is that the layout of files inside lib/unicore has changed.
pkgsrc: fails the same test that 5.8.4 fails (sigaction).

it compiles properly on 2.0 and current systems. PowerPC processors

which are the full option names used to set rpath directives for the
linker and the compiler, respectively. In places were we are invoking
the linker, use "${LINKER_RPATH_FLAG} <path>", where the space is
inserted in case the flag is a word, e.g. -rpath. The default values
of *_RPATH_FLAG are set by the compiler/*.mk files, depending on the
compiler that you use. They may be overridden on a ${OPSYS}-specific
basis by setting _OPSYS_LINKER_RPATH_FLAG and _OPSYS_COMPILER_RPATH_FLAG,
respectively. Garbage-collect _OPSYS_RPATH_NAME and _COMPILER_LD_FLAG.

On >= NetBSD 2.0, if PERL5_USE_THREADS is _not_ defined, add pthread to libs.
This does not make perl threaded, but permits it to link against libraries
which are. This makes p5-GD (which pulls in threaded freetype) work again.

protoent and servent. Also there is a stray setrgid there which looks

Georg Schwarz in PR pkg/25057:
- check for PKGSRC_COMPILER instead of USE_MIPSPRO:
USE_MIPSPRO would imply the former, but not the other way around.
That is, it's conceivable to have a system that has PKGSRC_COMPILER
set (to mipspro), but not USE_MIPSPRO.
- Allow passing of -Duse64bitint if ABI == 64 even if the compiler is not
mipspro. (Note: we could test this on a non-IRIX 64bit platform by
setting ABI to '64'. I think that should work, too, but I can't test
that right now.)

only set mipspro specific compiler flags when using mipspro.
Otherwise, defaults will do.
|

Make this build under Irix with mipspro compilers:
MIPSPro compiler/preprocessor behaves differently if invoked on
stdin vs file. In configure, we test for stdin, but lateron we use files.
So force it to work the way we know it does.

* Build without sparc64 hacks on NetBSD-*-sparc64 if using a gcc>=3.3.
* The hash randomisation introduced with 5.8.1 has been amended to be
binary compatible with 5.8.0.
* Several memory leaks associated with variables shared between threads
have been fixed.
* Several modules were updated:
Devel::PPPort Digest::MD5 I18N::LangTags libnet MIME::Base64
Pod::Perldoc strict Tie::Hash Time::HiRes Unicode::Collate
Unicode::Normalize UNIVERSAL
* Some syntax errors involving unrecognized filetest operators are now
handled correctly by the parser.
