	I had sent this question out a couple of months ago (back when we
went from perl PL-18 to PL-twenty-something) and never got any responses.
I assmue that my mail wasn't getting out, so here goes again.
	
	What are the required steps to perform in order to build 'perl'
from scratch?  My question arises because I have found that it is not
possible to:
		run ALL kits
		apply ALL patches
Rather, it appears that the order is something more like:
		run ALL kits
		apply patches 1-18
		Configure
		apply patches 19-twenty-something....
		Configure
		....
Can anyone tell me the order, or do I have to read each patch file to find
out when to run Configure?  I am trying to write a script to install 
and build perl automatically.
