Agreed. I'd personally like to see something like this, and wouldn't=20 mind maintaining it either. For someone like me (who has close to a hundred Perl modules installed), it can be a great time saver, especially on a low-resource machine. I'd also like to receive more comments about this -- if it is to make it into FreeBSD, I want it to work as well as possible. --=20 I abhor a system designed for the "user", if that word is a coded pejorative meaning "stupid and unsophisticated". -- Ken Thompson - Please CC me in all replies, even if I'm on the relevant list(s). --qDbXVdCdHGoSgWSk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAJCkFk/lo7zvzJioRAp+lAKCBgEdGofxb3tQwJBPDwOoQU4ku9wCfSl/M MbUjlWqyZGSWnfuvEl9wIGU= =DLSs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --qDbXVdCdHGoSgWSk--
