System: perl version 1.0
Patch #: 14
Priority: HIGH
Subject: a2p incorrectly translates 'for (a in b)' construct.
From: jbs at EDDIE.MIT.EDU (Jeff Siegal)

Description:
	The code a2p creates for the 'for (a in b)' construct ends
	up assigning the wrong value to the key variable.

Fix:	From rn, say "| patch -p0 -d DIR", where DIR is your perl source
			      ^^^
	directory.  Outside of rn, say "cd DIR; patch -p0 <thisarticle".
	If you don't have the patch program, apply the following by hand,
	or get patch.

	If patch indicates that patchlevel is the wrong version, you may need
	to apply one or more previous patches, or the patch may already
	have been applied.  See the patchlevel.h file to find out what has or
	has not been applied.  In any event, don't continue with the patch.

	If you are missing previous patches they can be obtained from me:

	Larry Wall
	lwall at jpl-devvax.jpl.nasa.gov

	If you send a mail message of the following form it will greatly speed
	processing:

	Subject: Command
	@SH mailpatch PATH perl 1.0 LIST
		   ^ note the c

	where PATH is a return path FROM ME TO YOU in Internet notation, and
	LIST is the number of one or more patches you need, separated by spaces,
	commas, and/or hyphens.  Saying 35- says everything from 35 to the end.

	You can also get the patches via anonymous FTP from
	jpl-devvax.jpl.nasa.gov (128.149.8.43).
