From the keyboard of cluther@supernet.dallas.haus.com (Clay Luther):
:What is a .ph file?  Where do they come from?  My sensors detect no such files
:in the vicinity of my Perl distribution.  Am I hallucinating?

It's a translated C-to-perl include file.  It doesn't come with your
system because you have to make it yourself from your own system's include
files, probably using h2ph, which IS in the distribution.
