Just a warning to everyone anxious to grab perl 4.0.  I installed
it yesterday (on a sun4 running SunOs 4.1), and things started
breaking.  There's nothing funny about our installation, and I
used the same config.sh as for 3.44.  Specifically, perl -d on
anything resulted in a seg-fault, as did Tom Christiansen's
makewhatis (from his man package).  I didn't track it down further.
(Too many programs are written in perl around here..)

This is not a very useful message, but it may help people who are about
to spend hours UUCP'ing it.  I suggest you wait for the next patch.
