should be changed (by some Amiga knowledgable person) since the ade

Probably better to either dump perlamiga.pod (since there haven't been any
sucess reports for the Amiga in a long time IIRC) or point them to the
following URL (which will require bigger changes to the docs I fear)​:

http​://us.aminet.net/aminet/dirs/dev_gg.html

Sold my A4k yonks ago, otherwise I'd try and put 5.6 on there to see if it
compiled (and wait a couple of weeks... :)).

I am *not* an Amiga user, so I make no claims of anything. I've tried to
change the least amount of information to match what I found with a little
bit of searching on the net. There is a port of 5.6.0 on Aminet
(www.aminet.net/~aminet), so it at least still builds on Amiga.

Thanks, applied. I also sent email to the guy who supplied the port
whether there were any changes needed.
