While this may work on 4.x, this will not be able to go into 5.x or into
-current (and it first has to find it's way into -current, else there will
be no merge to 5.x or 4.x) since we don't have perl in the base system on
5.x and -current. I suggest to rewrite this in awk (in the -current version
of this periodic script) and submit it as a diff.

Bye,
Alexander.
