Re: Larry's Apocalypse 1

in that it's very human-readable. More readable than the already-supporrted -M7 ? Do we *really* need a new command-line option that is one character shorter than an existing command-line option that can do exactly the same thing? -- Andy Dougherty [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept

Re: Larry's Apocalypse 1

often have one-liners embedded in larger shell scripts. Most of those survived the perl4-perl5 transition intact. I'd hope the same can be said for the perl5-perl6 transition. -- Andy Dougherty [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept. of Physics Lafayette College, Easton PA 18042

Re: Why shouldn't sleep(0.5) DWIM?

oving time() from the perl5 core means excising the following from pp_sys.c: PP(pp_time) { djSP; dTARGET; XPUSHi( time(Null(Time_t*)) ); RETURN; } and replacing it by the appropriate auto-loading glue. This is not a big space savings. -- Andy

Re: RFC 208 (v2) crypt() default salt

I wanted to maintain the same rand() sequence and also use a one-arg crypt(). I will add a note aboput this to the RFC. If there are no other comments, I will freeze it in 24 hours. I agree this is a non-issue for this RFC.[*] -- Andy Dougherty [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept

Re: RFC 258 (v1) Distinguish packed binary data from printablestrings

is, of course, a judgment call. I do use the read/unpack/modify/pack/print cycle a fair amount dealing with image data. I guess I'd say working around RFC 258 might be annoying but not painful. -- Andy Dougherty [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept. of Physics Lafayette College, Easton PA 18042

Re: RFC 216 (v1) POD should tolerate white space.

e's an RFC on that somewhere.) Once either of those solutions is implemented, then then it's a simple matter for pod tools using it instead of $/ (or whatever). Since you made this proposal, would you be willing to pursue either of these options further? -- Andy Dougherty [EMAIL PROTECTED

Re: RFC 114 (v2) Perl resource configuration
