Re: [gentoo-dev] Need help with Bug 7887 - aux_get() errors

[Michael Cummings <mcummings@gentoo.org>]

Henti,

	You are awesome! Didn't think it was related to perl, but perl
was the only thing showing up, hence my getting the ticket. Don't know
if you added yourself to the bug report or not, but the user just wrote
back that he tried your solution and it worked like a charm! Thank you
so much, this ticket has been plaguing me. Thank you again,

Michael
