   Has anyone used the short `tgrep' perl script from the UNIX 
   POWER TOOLS book?  It works on my Sun and fails with a strange
   error blurb on my FreeBSD machine.

   tgrep grep only text file, skipping directories and binaries.

   I asked Jerry Peek at ORA and he had no idea what was causing
   the trouble.  tgrep runs on perl 4.0, pl36 which  is what I've
   got.

   thanks in advance,

   gary

   PS:   I'm very new to perl!  Shouldn't make any diff.
