I think that proves Garret's point: for the sake of a "*very* thin perl wrapper around the Sun::Solaris::Kstat module", one needs to install the whopping great WOS known as Perl. If kstat et al were implemented in C, the overhead wouldn't be required. -- Rich Teer, SCSA, SCNA, SCSECA, OpenSolaris CAB member CEO, My Online Home Inventory Voice: +1 (250) 979-1638 URLs: http://www.rite-group.com/rich http://www.myonlinehomeinventory.com _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
