Perl is good at handling processes and files, and is especially good at handling text. Perl's hallmarks are practicality and efficiency. While it is used to do a lot of different things, Perl's most common applications are system administration utilities and web programming. A large proportion of the CGI scripts on the web are written in Perl. You need the perl package installed on your system so that your system can handle Perl scripts." curr: 5.6.1-2 test: 5.8.0-1 > setup.hint perl_manpages: # perl_manpages requires: man category: Doc sdesc: "Manpages for perl-5.8.0" test: 5.8.0-1 > Please feel free to down-/upload to sources.redhat.com. > Download here: http://koeln.convey.de/cywgin/perl/perl-5.8.0-1-src.tar.bz2 http://koeln.convey.de/cywgin/perl/perl-5.8.0-1.tar.bz2 ># wrong: http://koeln.convey.de/cywgin/perl/setup.hint http://koeln.convey.de/cywgin/perl/perl_manpages/perl_manpages-5.8.0-1.tar.bz2 ># wrong: http://koeln.convey.de/cywgin/perl/perl_manpages/setup.hint > Some more infos: http://koeln.convey.de/cywgin/perl/README Gerrit -- =^..^=
