These previously posted patches also work at perl patchlevel 28. One minor
problem: When I ran Configure after applying perl patch 28, the Makefile
libs parameter had -lm both before and after -lbsd, which resulted in
many loader error messages regarding math routines. Removing the trailing
redundant -lm fixed the problem. (-lm should appear before -lbsd to prevent
a segmentation fault when the perl "**" operator is used. See the note
regarding the "pow" function in /usr/lpp/bos/bsdport.)
