Hi,

Has anyone rewritten fixincludes into perl.
This would seem like an ideal application for perl - if you were
smart you should be able to read each include file completely into
memory (include files are generally small compared to available
core), hit with the required modifications, keeping track if any
"took", and if there were modifications blast the whole thing out in
one print statement.

The entire set of ops for each file ought to take less time than the
current technique of starting up a new egrep, let alone the time
taken by sed if that is required.

As you can guess I have played with this slightly but am hitting a
few problems with handling the wierd and wonderful shell and sed
scripts - I shifted almost everything to perl a while back so the
translation is tricky!

	Nigel.
