Hi,

We currently use 5.18.4 in production but as we move from Centos 6 -> Amazon Linux 2 there is a desire to bring our version of Perl up to date along the way. When I am building 5.30.2, I notice the compile time options by default are different than the ones used for the 5.18.4 package. I could not find any useful documentation on the Perl compile time operators. Am I just missing some documentation on these? If so a pointer in the right direction would be appreciated. If not, there are two in particular that were used for 5.18.4 but not 5.30.2 that I am having trouble digging up what they actually do: PERL_HASH_FUNC_ONE_AT_A_TIME_HARD and PERL_SAWAMPERSAND. Would appreciate some help understanding the impact of these two flags.

Thanks!
