Btw., you've only checked for installed scripts. Do also check out the Makefiles. I know that i've been using ``perl -e'' in some of the Makefiles myself. I don't believe removing Perl is an option. And, we aren't the only system that ships Perl as part of the base system. I remember Data General having it as well, most likely others too. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
