Hi

Here is the current list of perl scripts in the base system that
need rewriting.

Volunteers, please? If not, Motions to Nuke :-).

Serious suggestions only! Lets keep the bikeshed down, and the
thread on topic!

It would be acceptable to rewrite in C (C++?) or /bin/sh (/bin/csh?).

/usr/bin/afmtodit
/usr/bin/catman		Trivial?
/usr/bin/makewhatis	Needed for "make world" Important one!
/usr/bin/mmroff
/usr/bin/sockstat	IIRC, des already has this one
/usr/bin/whereis
/usr/sbin/adduser	Wrapper round "pw useradd"?
/usr/sbin/kbdmap
/usr/sbin/pkg_update	Use port instead?
/usr/sbin/pkg_version
/usr/sbin/rmuser	Wrapper round "pw userdel"?
/usr/sbin/scriptdump
/usr/sbin/spkrtest	Trivial?
/usr/sbin/vidfont

M
