On the other hand, Perl deals with things like quoting and other problems resulting from unanticipated command-line arguments somewhat better than sh does (e.g., you can start the JVM by passing its command-line arguments as an array, not by some piece of sh black magic that gets the quotes right and separates arguments - some of which may contain spaces - at exactly the right places [1]). If writing it in Perl means we're more confident in its correctness in all cases, I say let's do it. After all, this is a script that will be used by *every* Java package. Ben. [1] Perhaps you can do this in sh too and I just don't know how. Regardless, I stand by the point made in the second paragraph. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
