According to Bruce Albrecht: > I recently had problems running FreeBSD's patch on some perl 5 > patches.

GNU patch 2.1 worked fine too. The problem is that if you want to make our patch uses Index: entries correctly, you have to use "-p0" (even if it sounds weird). I consider it a bug in our patch. I've been using GNU patch for months for exactly the same reasons (Perl). -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: There are no limits -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #9: Thu May 8 20:22:51 CEST 1997
