Version 5.003_02
----------------
o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
- Redefining constant subs, or changing sub's prototype now give warnings.
- Fixes for ++/-- of values close to max/min size of an integer
- Warning for un-qualified bareword as handler in $SIG{}.
- UNIVERSAL::isa can now be called as static method.

o Changes in Core Internals
- PerlIO abstraction added.
Perl core and standard extensions no longer assume ANSI C's stdio is IO
mechanism, Default Configure mode is still to use stdio via set of C macros.
Alternate modes are to use stdio via one perlio.c module, or
to use sfio if available.

- Several bug fixs from perl5-porters
- Make sources non-ANSI C correct again.
- SUPER in gv.c
- Last of shared-hash-key patches
- eval '(0,1..3)'; # --> SegFault
- coredumps after simple subsitutes.
- Correction to UNIVERSAL::VERSION docs.
- Fixed io_udp test.
- Fixed another abuse of malloc'ed memory.
- Enabled DEBUGING_MSTATS whenever perl's malloc() is used.
- Reverted to default of not hiding perl's malloc (if used).

o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities
- Fixed MakeMaker for static SDBM and builing in a link tree.
- Upgraded to IO-1.09, and includes latest (still experimental) IO::Select.
- Documentation/test tweak to DB_File
- h2xs upgrade to allow use C::Scan module

o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support
- Attempted to re-created 5.003_01's NeXT support with metaconfig units.
- Updated MANIFEST
- make minitest now depends on lib/Config.pm, as some of tests require it.
- Included latest plan9 sub-directory
- Applied OS/2 patches.
- Typo patch for VMS.
