I know, it's the same for me, I have about 11,000 unread mails (mostly
mailing lists though). My friends and family complain that I write
straight-to-the-point mails too. And what's worse, is when two
french-speaking people e-mail in english, sometimes it transforms what
we want to say.

Mes condol�ances...

I don't feel that bad, it didn't stop me from sleeping, I was just a bit
concerned that I didn't do the things The Right Way(tm), and that I
could not understand what was wrong.

So I'll do some RTFS ;-)

Can you explain the last point? perl scripts as "binary"?

Ah! I understand better now =)

That's a starting point, I never thought of looking in the gi CVS. You
should package the doc in the drakxtools RPM, whenever you have a
minute.
