<. We thank the TPF sponsors to make this grant possible.
<pre>
The main things I did last month were:
* Fixd require's "Can't locate" error message so that it only mentions
@INC if @INC was actually searched, and only gives the "you may need to
install" hint if the filename maps to a valid module name.
* fixed up the usage of 'do' in core and made tests run without '.' in
@INC. It turns out that all core tests were being run with '.' in @INC
even when that was no longer set by default by the perl interpreter. I
removed that, and then fixed up the issues it revealed.
* I made a start on a proof-of-concept branch which stores short strings
directly in the body of an SV.
