I'm not sure what your script does, but I would think that the real "because" reason is that pcb is fully capable of reading all old format data. It doesn't matter what new file formats look like so long as you aren't trying to use new features, write in one format and pcb will always be able to read it. Not correct. The "because" reason relates to the ability of my program to input a new file format (for which it wasn't designed) and output a correct PCB layout not PCB's ability to read new and old file formats.

gEDA-user: replicating pcb layout cells
I just found out a different way to use the perl script pcb-matrix by:
John Luciani
www.luciani.org
He wrote it with such good documentation and meaningful variable names I
could modify it in 5 minutes of reading to do a different process!
Normally, his script makes a copy of a layout cell, and increments all the
refdes numbers of succeeding ones. I have some layout and a netlist with
hierarchy, so I didn't want my sub circuit refdes's to increment, but to have a
prefix instead. So far, I've made a little hack to turn off the incrementing
and it didn't create any problems -- I'll be able to text edit and change the
refdes's to have S1/, S2/ etc, and i may even take a hack at creating those
prefixes with the script... The script works fine with the latest element file
format even though he made it before it existed.
Thanks John L,
John G
pcb-matrix modified (pseudo diff):
#return sprintf("\"%s%i\"", $prefix, $ordinal + $last * $row + $last *
($Cfg{last_row}+1) * $col);
return sprintf("\"%s%i\"", $prefix, $ordinal ); #jg's no count version..
