[Didn't see that e. cc'd the list on this]
Solving a problem is not OT.
But the divergence into FTP servers, tar, etc was getting to be so.
Note, I did provide a perfectly meaningful response and useful solution
for Perl. Even if it was rather slow to get out, (responded immediately after
I got Uri's and it took quite some time trickle down.)
I wansn't trying to be a Nazi, or dictator of the list. But it just seemed
like a thread which had the potential to go unfruitfully for quite sometime,
due to the vagaries of the question itself. And I was somewhat right. Afterall,
look at how many responses snuck in between Uri's first post and my first post.
And Ant didn't seem any more satisifed.
As for the sig, I've heard it all before thanks.
