About this distro ----------------- This collection of scripts and modules provides access to the APC (All Perl Changes) archive: * The module Perl::Repository::APC provides methods to get at the important metadata of the APC * The script patchaperlup is a low level script that only builds new perl sources from old perl sources by applying numerically sorted patchfiles. * The script buildaperl is a wrapper around patchaperlup that is able to compile and install a new perl. * The script binsearchaperl is a wrapper around buildaperl that is able to run already built perls, build new perls and compare their functionality. If there is a different behaviour between two perls, the script is able to determine the exact patch number that caused the change.
