It still would have been a good idea to send out the actual patch for review on a public list. Personally, I won't use sed -i if it insists on leaving backup files around that I have to go the trouble to delete. I might as well just do sed 'foo' < foo > foo.bak. I only use -i when I'm not specifying a backup extension. Those are the only times I use perl in fact, and thus I will probably continue to use perl for such things. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
