I'm writing a book on Perl and C interaction, and one of the things I want to do is embed Perl in an Open Source project. So, I've been trying to think of useful things to put Perl in (ie, not GNU Hello) that the maintainers might accept a patch for. Since a lot of people use Perl to filter tcpdump output, it was suggested to me that an option to embed Perl in it would give them more control over their filtering. What would you think of that idea? Simon -- "There is no statute of limitations on stupidity." -- Randomly produced by a computer program called Markov3. - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
