[9fans] ape, perl

[Russ Cox]

in ape, i

	- changed off_t to be a long long (64 bits)
	- added long long support to printf (%llx, %lld, etc.)
	- changed various routines to use system call seek (64-bit)
	  rather than oseek (32-bit).
	- added library routines stroull, stroll, atoll
	- added <inttypes.h>; to use it, #define _SUSV2_SOURCE
	- changed _fdinfo to scan /proc/$pid/fd for context on startup
	- recompiled everything from scratch

there's also a new perl.iso.bz2, which is perl 5.8.0.
the build process is more than buggered -- don't
even bother trying.  i got a binary and now i can
lick my wounds.

perl is the new heavyweight 8l champion, btw.
150MB of memory during the link.

wow, yup! i needed >= 5.6.0 to port bioperl... perhaps I'll jump into it again,
(then, i will lick mine ;-)
thanks a lot,

Cool.  Unfortunately, this change broke the tex port; building dvips
now fails in prescan.c with the following error:

pcc -B -I../kpathsea -I.. -I. -DNeedFunctionPrototypes -DKPATHSEA -DPlan9 -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_BSD_EXTENSION -c prescan.c

Just FYI.
