Fwd: Re: compille Mysql

	Hello,
the perl hang issue seems to be hinted on by our perl maintainer:

           while (<>) {
               # ...           # code for each line
           }

       The <> symbol will return "undef" for end-of-file only once.  If you
       call it again after this, it will assume you are processing another
       @ARGV list, and if you haven't set @ARGV, will read input from STDIN.

       If what the angle brackets contain is a simple scalar variable (e.g.,
       <$foo>), then that variable contains the name of the filehandle to
$

[tr]
IOW the script is working properly if the file really has
/START_OF_MIRROR_LISTING/ and /END_OF_MIRROR_LISTING/.  The perl
behaviour is correct.

btw, Michael Shigorin sent me completely different files from
those ones which broke Serge V Kompan's build. :)

Seems like another doc/ cleanup should be done?
