Re: [coldsync-hackers] Perl

[Daniel Lemire <lemire at ondelette dot com>]

I won't argue with this, but shouldn't it go into the Readme then?

There is the issue though that p5-Palm behaves as I expect it to 
(doesn't go to /usr/local). Shouldn't ColdSync behaves like p5-Palm as 
far as Perl is concerned?
