I think I'd be against this also -- those who followed by google fight link will have seen there were about 1.6 million references to "#!/usr/bin/perl" in Google, vs only about 67,000 references to "#!/usr/bin/env perl". One of the important goals in the 6.x work is to avoid creating unnecessary barriers to upgrades, in order to make transition from 5-STABLE to 6-STABLE much more seamless than the transition from 4-STABLE to 5-STABLE has been. Breaking everyone's perl scripts can hardly be described as "making upgrades seamless". :-) Robert N M Watson _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
