Dear Sir, During what part of "I volunteer" was I whining? If you are interested in a list of my previous open source contributions, do a search for "jj behrens" on Google or have a look at . Surely, I'm no superstar, but I'm not a whiner either. : > 1. [ Identify problem ] > 2. [ Enumerate possible solutions, and determine cost and impact of them ] > 3. [ Choose solution or decide to not implement ] > 4. [ Implementation (of course, there can be lots of substeps here) ] Since I don't have any history working on the base system itself, I could appreciate some direction. For instance, I'd be willing to help get Perl out of the base system by porting things to sh/sed/awk. What should I port first? Greg, thank you for your clarifying comments!
