I've posted a nicer version of the nlist() function to alt.sources;
it's backwards compatible with the version I just posted, plus
can be called in these ways:
%nlist = &nlist($file, '_get.*', 'bogus', '_read', '.*exit');
%nlist = &nlist($file, @nlist);
%nlist = &nlist($file); # return all symbols as before
This is better because it only gives you only what you want saving program
data size. It also likes rexprs, which seems appropriate for perl.
If you don't get alt.sources, mail me and I'll send you a copy. (But
please include an explicit path -- I find that many of the direct replies
bounce.) And if you haven't voted on comp.lang.perl yet, please do so.
That way this stuff will come over the comp.* distribution instead.
