I know I'm going to be busy for ~2 weeks and will have only limited amounts of time to work on this, but after that I should be wide open in terms of after hrs time. If I start chiseling away at this w/ a few other folks, however, is there the support/desire to integrate the changes? The reason I lobbed this out (and promptly ran for the door) was that I am under the impression that there is some precedent _not_ to use/like Perl 5.6. > Can anyone else get working on this? Better question: is someone already working on this? I seem to recall someone already had a large chunk of this done. -sc -- Sean Chittenden To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
