Hi Dimitri,

Apologies for the delay - I've been offline for a few days.

Right. There's been a lot of demand over the years for
Perforce to adopt 
P4Perl, P4Ruby and, more recently, P4Python. As of 2007.3,
we're doing just 
that, and we've taken the opportunity to correct some legacy
mistakes in the 
originals while we're at it.

Absolutely. I have such a change all ready to go, but I am
waiting until the 
GA release before I submit it.

Thanks - will do.
