Postings from April 2003
It was Wednesday, April 23, 2003 when Robin Barker took the soap box, saying: : There are also some collision of C<> and -> in the UNIVERSAL.pm pod. : The attached patch cleans up this and some other bits of the pod. : My patch should be applied as well as (not instead of) Casey's. As well, I forgot to address the question of 'if those functions should not be imported, the documentation should say why'. So to your patch and my previous I add the patch below my signature. Also, your patch was a bit hard to apply because it seems that your mailer played wrapping games on it. I've attached a cleaned up copy of your patch.
