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 ${1+"$@"}'

		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??
