Since i don't know who objected and with which arguments they did, i cannot say. ;-) Anyway, upon seeing the current /usr/bin/perl, i thought it to be a Good Idea. Since virtually all Unix-like operating systems these days (with FreeBSD being the exception now) ship Perl as /usr/bin/perl, it makes the script well portable to have a redirector there. We've got so many other redirectors (MTA, binutils -> ELF/COFF etc.), why not keep /usr/bin/perl as well? -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
