@ -653,3 +653,10 @@ Perl 5.10.1 is an intermediate version used before Perl 5.32. We require this
version as it adds a couple of modules into lib/ required to regenerate files in
Perl 5.32. We still use the Makefile instead of the metaconfig strategy, as
metaconfig history becomes poor more than a few years back.
dist 3.5-236
============
dist is perl's package used for generating Perl's Configure (which is written in
Perl itself). We 'compile' (aka generate) metaconfig and manifake only from dist.
We do not use dist's build system because it itself uses dist.
