Two other improvements are for major notice. 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.
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. But as I dont have any W32 system, I was unable to test it. Version 0.41 was the first version known to build and to pass its regression test under Windows NT, thanks to Arend R. Braun. The only change was in Makefile. Version 0.42 does require Perl 5.6, and does implement interpretation of the Stating Level.
