The older Mozilla on VMS would not accept any other format.

While my editor by default trims trailing spaces, I usually have that turned that off since so many modules in Perl have trailing spaces. Occasionally after a power failure, I forget to reset the editor. > Keep the patches coming, John -- we'll figure out how to get them in > (but obviously the cleaner the better). I think I have all the major things (Filename Unix Report mode) that I would like to see in the next Perl/VMS right now in the various queues waiting to make it into blead, so I have slowed down. As I find time, I would like to fix up some stuff left behind from the tests. I want to find a place in the test harness where I can snapshot a list of files in the current working directory, my home directory, the temp directory, and process logical names to make sure that tests do not leave extra ones behind, but I am looking at perl-next as an implementation time. -John wb8tyw@qsl.net Personal Opinion OnlyThread Previous
