However, if you want to contribute financially to the development of Perl generally, you might consider a donation to the Perl Foundation, http://perlfoundation.org/, which (amongst other things) provides grants to various individuals associated with Perl. I am hoping to have a patch ready in 2-3 weeks time, but it's unlikely to be included in the soon-to-be-released 5.8.1, so it will most likely appear in 5.10.0 (or possibly a 5.8.2). Either of these may be a year or more away. Of course, I may find that I can't fix it after all... Regards, Dave. -- "But Sidley Park is already a picture, and a most amiable picture too. The slopes are green and gentle. The trees are companionably grouped at intervals that show them to advantage. The rill is a serpentine ribbon unwound from the lake peaceably contained by meadows on which the right amount of sheep are tastefully arranged." Lady Croom - ArcadiaThread Previous | Thread Next
