I guess the most likely one would be me, but not really. My perl-fu is well below this level, so I will happily +1 whatever you more experienced perl guys say :-) I don't see a big problem with a couple of more files - it's not like we're going to support 20 different versions of VS anyway, once we get to 4 i'm sure the earliest one is well out of support already and can be removed. But in summary I'd vote for whatever matches the "general perl pest practices" at this time. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
