Instead of the solution suggested in the original message, it would be cleaner to escape the $tmp argument using the Perl quoting operators:
my $found = 0; find sub { return if $File::Find::dir =~ m|^\Q$tmp\E/usr/share/doc/|; return unless -f and /\.py$/; $found++; }, $tmp; (And yes, I saw this problem too when trying to build player under pbuilder. This really needs to get fixed as soon as possible.) -- Daniel Schepler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
