running the perl version of cops produces error need: Can't open need and later -S: invalid option Fix: This fix uses perl4 (in /usr/bin); the original perl script looks for perl in /usr/local/bin. If perl5 is used a few additional changes are needed in the script; perl complains about precedence in the following lines, where parens are needed around CONFIG, FILE1, and FILE2 (roughly lines 86, 223, and 224, I think): open CONFIG || die "can't open $CONFIG: $!"; open FILE1 || die "can't open $FILE1: $!\n"; open FILE2 || die "can't open $FILE2: $!\n"; For perl4: How-To-Repeat: run perl version of cops from /cops/perl directory, i.e., /usr/local/cops/perl/cops
State Changed From-To: open->closed Patch added to make the perl version work. Thanks!
