I see much potential for confusion if "miniperl" > means different Perl builds in different contexts. Yes, if it is anything more than the one single executable "miniperl", it should be called something else (it probably should have something a little bit more, again, see Debian's perl-base for a reasonable set of functionality). I STRONGLY suggest that this discussion should get it's own mailing list, though, this is off topic for both perl5-porters and freebsd-current. I'm certain both those lists are busy enough, and OS distrib people need a common ground. perl-dist@perl.org? Ask, could you create the list? -- $jhi++; # http://www.iki.fi/jhi/ # There is this special biologist word we use for 'stable'. # It is 'dead'. -- Jack Cohen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
