I think that's sort of in the grey area. There are also many Hardened Traditionalists(tm) like myself who don't know perl and have no interest in learning it because everything they ever need to do can be handled by sh, awk and sed and they spent many years gaining that level of proficiency with them. We could color our ls and replace sh with bash too, but sometimes there's value in retaining the simpler traditions as you also go forward with the newer tools. :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
