Correct. See also the thread at http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl6.internals/2007/08/msg39874.html Essentially the rule of thumb is that we update the copyright years to include any year where the file is somehow modified. Thus a file newly created today gets a copyright date of 2008, a file that is modified that was previously 2007 or less would be updated to include 2008. We _don't_ go back and update unmodified files to include a 2008 copyright -- those wait until a modification occurs. I've updated the mk_language_shell.pl script to correctly reflect the 2007-2008 copyright. Pm
