clkaobtw, freebsd svn port maintainer was complaining about unable to do --with-swig specifying only perl or python bindings to build..
* cmpilatonotes that the topic of this channel is Subversion.
clkao(so he refused to include the option for building either bindings in the port!)
rindolfI once saw a perl5 code written in perl4 style. Now that was hideous.
