Due to vacation, I missed perl 3.0 patches 2, 3, and 4. Could some kind soul email them to me, please? Thanks, Dave McQuate Voice: (707) 577-4585 ARPANET: davem%hpmwtd@hplabs.HP.COM INTERNET: davem%hpmwtd@hplabs.hp.com UUCP: ...hplabs!hpmwtd!davem

----Ah---- Excuse me, in each perl patch are instructions for obtaining others.

Most likely, then, those people don't read comp.sources.bugs, which is where Perl patches are distributed. I don't think there was widespread message lossage, and I know the patches appeared on uunet -- they're still in the spool directory as I write this. The first patch appeared with the perl3.0 distribution in comp.sources.unix, and it had detailed explanation that this was the only patch to appear here. It also pointed out that this patch, LIKE ALL OF LARRY'S PATCHES, tell you how to get any ones you might be missing. /r$ -- Please send comp.sources.unix-related mail to rsalz@uunet.uu.net. Use a domain-based address or give alternate paths, or you may lose out.

Apparently what happened is that patch 2-4 came in on the same day our news system barfed and I had to reset it, thus wiping out the spool directory (speaking of which, has anyone ever written a utility to rebuild the active file from the files in the spool directory?). What confused me was that patches 2-4 are actually just one complete patch (i.e. you can't do one without the other two). I always thought patch #'s were assigned to the WHOLE patch, not to the individual parts of it. So when I saw patch 5 come along when only a few weeks before i'd seen patch 1, well, I got mighty confused. Sorry. My mistake. You can stop sending me the patches now. -- Chris Andersen (..!{sun,tektronix}!sequent!ccssrv!chris) Home: (503) 620-4176 Work: (503) 641-8128 "Join the Danger Patrol!"
