Re: [OpenAFS] Perl AFS module updated for 1.8.x
Hi Ryan, Norbert was a colleague of mine and retired some years ago. I talked to him recently, and in principle he would be interested in making required changes to his code if there are some people who actively use this code. So if there are more users than you and me who are interested, it might be possible to convince Norbert to do some work on it. Kind regards, Ado Ryan C.
