If the internal checks in sperl will allow this, then this might be the best way to go. I want to think about this a little before doing that. Peter shot down other wrappers for these. The good news is that my mods to install it mode 0 seem to work. I'm not going to commit anything until we can get consensus on what to do. And I honestly thought this would be an uncontroversial change. That's what I get for thinking. :-( Warer To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
