PPerl is now much more happy on linux/ppc, which makes me much more happy too.
The blead to cvs stuff nearly works now. I'm currently getting hunks failed on win32/Makefile with change 14416, which really shouldn't be happening since I'm just playing back all of the messages sent to perl.perl5.changes. Actually I just got a sneaking suspicion that it's just noise from line-endings, that gives me something to poke at after lunch.
