Yeah, I'd apply that patch while we all figure out what to do. I'd be happy to take on the "Perl fixing" work as Perl is my first language love. (Well C/C++ I learned first, so I guess, my first scripting language love. Technically, I learned BASIC on a TI/994A first, but the less said about that the better.)
I'd probably need a branch to start doing that, though. I can't imagine we'd want to do that on trunk. —Mark _______________________ Mark E.
