If they are meant as commands typed by the user, PLEASE PLEASE do not put ".pl" on the send of the script! This is not the Unix Way. ".pl" means "Perl Library". It's meant to be used with "do" or "require" within another script, not as something typed by a user. Perl *programs* did not have that on the end until Windows Perl came along, needing the extension to know that it's really a Perl program. Stupid Windows. The technology by which a command is implemented is not part of the extension of that command. (Or have you renamed your "cat" command "cat.c"?) If the scripts are end-user scripts, put them in /sw/bin. If they aren't, put them in /sw/lib/$PACKAGENAME, and be sure to invoke them in a way that /sw works if replaced by something else. -- Randal L.
