Sorry guys. Yes, thes examples are quite good, however as I said before, real (=working) examples weere needed.

"OK" and $point = "taken"; @blabla = join {channel => "#gentoo-releng", nic => "korokoro", mode => "listen"} or die; while(<@blabla>) { &listen; &RTFM; &emerge; } But what about helping by "working on an official Gentoo release"? Seems, that you are having a tough time... / No, I am not a dev, but that was on my "wish/TODO list" for 2006 :-) / Kalin. -- |[ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]| +-> http://ThinRope.net/ <-+ |[ ______________________ ]| -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
