this is a little tutorial about submitting patches (should be added to a FAQ, or somewhere where it's handy for people like me that tend to forget everything :-). if there's something missing or incorrect, feel free to let me know: 1. do a diff -u of the file(s) you want to patch (note: Win32 users will probably need -ub) 2. redirect the output to a file (any name will do, .patch extension is conventional) 3. create a new email message 4. set the recipient to: bugs-parrot@bugs6.perl.org (note there's no need to CC the mailing list, it will find its way through it) 5. prepend [PATCH] to the subject 6. be very, very informative about what you're doing, both in the subject line and the message body 7. attach the patch file you generated in step 2 (DON'T paste the content in the body, attach the file!) 8. send and wait patiently. cheers, Aldo __END__ $_=q,just perl,,s, , another ,,s,$, hacker,,print;Thread Next
