Given the lack of comment for or against, I'm going to follow this route. That and my oodles of free time given the current worldwide virus situation, I think I should be able to work on something. I'm not intending to have anything in time for 5.32, it being a bit late now, but my hope is to have something that looks merge-ready early in the round for 5.33.x so we'll have plenty of time to bring it into blead and test it out, before it hits 5.34. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk | https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ | https://www.tindie.com/stores/leonerd/Thread Previous | Thread Next
