I am in total admiration by your perl skills. As the Capernaum Centurion
would say if he had been a programmer, "I am not worthy that thou
shouldest come under my roof: but speak the regexp only, and my code
shall be healed."

However, I am a bit deceived by your elitist attitude. By the sound of
your e-mails, you seem to assume that everyone should know how to use
the DrakX code. However, I haven't been able to find any information,
neither on the DrakX web page, or in the drakxtools package itself, or
in perl-MDK, in the twiki, in the CVS, and of course I tried Google.

The only documentation I could find was:
http://www.mandrakeforum.org/print.php?lang=en&sid=662
I based DrakClick on that exact same code. 

Re-writing the whole thing and posting new and improved code on Cooker
will not help me write better code. If you could point me to some
documentation, or at least comment what you have done, it will help me
(and everyone reading Cooker), write new tools eventually.
