Changes for version 0.09 - 2001-04-21

  • The perlio.c layer API has changed by the 5.7.1 release. 0.08 and earlier won't compile - 0.09 mainly consists of necessary changes to function prototypes and the layer struct. 5.7.1 contains a known bug - when opening a file with layers specified, failure of a layer to push is supposed to cause the open to fail. In 5.7.0 it did. In 5.7.1 it doesn't. Commented the tests that will fail due to this bug. Attempted to detect the "OS" type at compile time to set the default OS for the gzip header.
