Attachments: Grep ebuild that supports perl USE flags

Description Leo 2004-05-16 09:56:01 UTC
I've attached a (slightly) modded ebuild that builds perl regexp support based on the perl and -perl use flags. I see this as a slightly better alternative then actually not supporting it by default.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge grep
2.perl regexp support disabled by default
3.
