>From perldelta:
- Shell has been removed from the Perl core. Prior version was 0.72_01.
So it's not a bug.
Also, from the Shell module:
This package is included as a show case, illustrating a few Perl features. It
shouldn't be used for production programs. Although it does provide a simple
interface for obtaining the standard output of arbitrary commands, there may be
better ways of achieving what you need.

I couldn't find one in the openSUSE repository. If there is no such available, it would be a good idea to provide one - and it can print a 'Warning: deprecated' message everytime any function within this module is called. It would be a better way to phase out packages rather than removing them abruptly for people who're using it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

CC coolo (the guy with the nice package creation script). Regarding the deprecation: well, you need to blame upstream. I didn't notice that Shell.pm was dropped until I saw your bug report. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
