File::RdistByRsync Description

File::RdistByRsync is a Perl module that can read rdist distfiles, emulate using rsync. File::RdistByRsync is a Perl module that can read rdist distfiles, emulate using rsync.SYNOPSIS use File::RdistByRsync @dist_blocks = parse_rdist($distfile, %options) ($args, $extras, @dist_blocks) = rdist(@ARGV); rsync(@ARGV) perl -MFile::RdistByRsync -e 'rsync(qw/rdist command flags/)'File::RdistByRsync parses and understands rdist distfiles and command lines.It can share it's understanding by returning what it got (parse_rdist() and rdist()) or it can attempt to emulate rdist using rsync.Why?Well, because rdist is so slow it's unusable and rsync has such a limited interface that it's unusable. I'm sure a better specification language than rdist's could be developed, but rdist's language already exists so I used it to drive rsync. Requirements: · Perl
