So, what? You think someone on this list just has a nice script to translate Perl into C? [They don't.] It's non-trivial to move between most programming/scripting languages. Perhaps, if the perl script is small, you might convince someone that know Perl and C to translate it for you, but we generally get paid $20/hr. or so, for crap like that. [That said, I'm probably free if the script is small...] I've heard rumors that you can actually make a binary of a perl script. (Then, you could run that binary on your non-Perl machine.) But, I have no knowlege in that area. Also, perl really isn't that big or insecure (as long as you don't have it suid) so why not just install it on your Perl-less machine? Sorry if this comes off as some sort of "flame"; I'm really tired and irriated and probably shouldn't be sending emails right now. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
