Certainly, it's not > part of the standard perl5 distribution. Judging from the notice on the one here, it's probably only available in BSDI: # Copyright (c) 1994 Berkeley Software Design, Inc. It seems to have a hodge-podge of little routines in it: % grep -1 ^sub /usr/libdata/adm/util.pl|grep ^# # Parse a generic record # Read a file of generic records (in paragraph mode) # Write out a generic record # Put a generic record into a string # Read a file as a single generic record # Write a file from a single %fields array # Print a header and list in columnar form # Query the user # Query for a hostname # Query for an address # getpass() Read a password from the tty # Parse group file # Write out new group file # List existing groups # Parse master.passwd file # Write out new passwd file # List existing users # Explain queries/defaults __ Trevor Johnson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
