Assuming both the C and Perl versions work identically, you should package the one which you prefer to fix bugs in. Perl (or perl-base) is an essential package, so it's going to be on a Debian system anyway. You could also consider asking Joey Hess about adding some version of bomstrip to the moreutils package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
