acceptable?I think right now only perl is used, so it would be a new build chain tool, albeit one that's in my (very
humble)opinion much better suited to the task.<br /> ><br /><p dir="ltr">Python or perl is not what matters here
really.For something as simple as this (for the script) it doesn't make a real difference. I personally prefer python
overperl in most cases, but our standard is perl so we should stick to that. <p dir="ltr">The issues is coming up with
