In Perl 4.0 things like find2perl and s2p get made using the #!/pathname method of invoking perl. If one's perl pathname is too long, one has to edit each of these scripts both at the top and in the middle of the code to use the #!/bin/sh... invocation. It would be nice if Configure defined something like $invoke to be the entire invocation string. You could have your choice of: a) the standard one line: #!/perl_pathname b) the standard three line: #!/bin/sh ... c) the contents of a file provided by the user (shell escape to write it) This variable would be used by find2perl, etc. -- Jeff Dwork | 408-749-2356 | dwork@AMD.COM Advanced Micro Devices, M/S 45 |--------------------------------------- PO Box 3453 | The above opionions are mine, Sunnyvale, Ca 94088 | not AMD's.
