Chapter 5 - Ncurses and Perl simplifications

[gerard@…]

From an email by Greg Schafer:

Ch 5 - Ncurses - We don't really need the "chmod 755 /stage1/lib/*.5.3". That is just a correctness issue which is perfect for Ch 6 but not for the "eventually blown away" Ch 5. No functionality change. AFAIK, having the correct perms stops ldd from bitching if you happen to run it on those libs.

Ch 5 - Perl - currently has:-

make perl make utilities That could be simplified down to:-

make perl utilities

And of course:-

cp perl /stage1/bin/perl cp pod/pod2man /stage1/bin

could be simplified down to:-

cp perl pod/pod2man /stage1/bin
