The brand new Perl5 version 005.60 contains a profiler, and hunting the hot spots and optimising the SDBM by further denormalisation improved performance of edi2xml by factor 12. I hope nobody did use the SDBM internals so far. Version 0.34 fixed a bug concerning the release indicatior. As a minor improvement the edi2xml and xml2edi scripts now have pod documentation. Version 0.40 will open the portability track.
Intension is a version running under as many operating systems as possible.
Bug fixes may still merge in this version, but new features are implemented into the 0.50 track. I've included my modified documents, so others can be able to rebuild the DBM files. You may need a Unix like system because of newline conventions. PL will first ask two questions. You may change those decissions later by reperling the Makefile.
