- Although supplied with the perl package, the perl scripts in this eg
- directory and its subdirectories are placed in the public domain, and
- you may do anything with them that you wish.
-
- This stuff is supplied on an as-is basis--little attempt has been made to make
- any of it portable. It's mostly here to give you an idea of what perl code
- looks like, and what tricks and idioms are used.
-
- System administrators responsible for many computers will enjoy the items
- down in the g directory very much. The scan directory contains the beginnings
- of a system to check on and report various kinds of anomalies.
-
- If you machine doesn't support #!, the first thing you'll want to do is
- replace the #! with a couple of lines that look like this:
-
- eval "exec /usr/bin/perl -S $0 $*"
- if $running_under_some_shell;
-
- being sure to include any flags that were on the #! line. A supplied script
- called "nih" will translate perl scripts in place for you:
-
- nih g/g??
