I thought it already does!  I'll wait till it appears in CVS and 
see what you've changed.

Sorry about the difficulty with the patches.  This is the 
first time I've submitted a real patch to a project. 

I have discovered I do have "makepatch", and I'm going to copy your
Perl script to solve the diverging CVS problem.

My next goal will be to provide a temporary fix to the path
configuration for eperl.  What I'm intending to do is as follows:

1)         Modify configure.in to check for eperl, adding a 
           configure flag --with-eperl=(eperl executable).
           If eperl isn't specified, it will try and locate eperl
           using configure's facilities.  If it still can't locate
           eperl, it will default to /usr/bin/eperl and warn the
           user.

           This location will be exported to config.h
2)         Edit the reports code to use the exported locations.

I realise that this isn't a perfect solution, but until I learn
some scheme (I'm borrowing a book from the library tomorrow) 
it's better than the current situation, and will form the basis 
of a more permanent solution.

On a similar note, I'll figure out how to configure perl's module
search path to find gnucash.pm (which breaks if you don't install
to /usr)

One question, I read on the list that Rob Browning is working on
replacing the report perl code with scheme code.  How much longer
is the perl code likely to hang around for?
