This is a bug report for perl from jesse[at]fsck.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.36 running under perl 5.10.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

We should clarify that any change _committed_ to Configure needs
to be extracted into metaconfig. also that metaconfig lives in git, not sourceforge.


[Please do not change anything below this line]

Apologies! My statement was about:

# Note: this Configure script was generated automatically. Rather than
# working with this copy of Configure, you may wish to get metaconfig.
# The dist package (which contains metaconfig) is available via SVN:
# svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dist/trunk/dist
#
#
# Though this script was generated by metaconfig, it is OK to send
# patches against it. It's up to the Configure pumpkin to backport
# the patch to the metaunits if it is accepted.
# See Porting/pumpkin.pod for more information on metaconfig.
