all of the perl stuff is flawed especially for the debian tools. The flaw you are talking bout bellow isn't a flaw at all it's that it's not 10.9 ready as I'm nota 10.9 yet and can't test or add anything.
That being said I'm still not happy with the current state of perl, and I'm working on a plan to fix that. --- TS http://www.southofheaven.org/ Life begins and ends with chaos, live between the chaos!
