I just ran that program in a clean checkout and saw that the comp.lang.perl.misc line was added to newly created file pod/perl5260delta.pod. Going back to a clean checkout, I call: $ ack -l 'comp.*lang.*perl.*misc' ./pod | ack perl52 |sort pod/perl5200delta.pod pod/perl5201delta.pod pod/perl5202delta.pod pod/perl5203delta.pod pod/perl5220delta.pod pod/perl5221delta.pod pod/perl5222delta.pod pod/perl5223delta.pod pod/perl5240delta.pod pod/perl5241delta.pod pod/perl5250delta.pod pod/perl5251delta.pod Those last two look suspicious. But I find that even if I edit perl5250delta.pod and perl5251delta.pod to remove the reference to comp.lang.perl.misc and then re-run Porting/new-perldelta.pl, I get a brand new file, pod/perl5260delta.pod, that retains the clpm reference -- but pod/perldelta.pod is now clean. Puzzled. Thank you very much. Jim KeenanThread Previous | Thread Next
