Re: [MacPerl] -s File Test Operator

[Vicki Brown <vlb@cfcl.com>]

A question.  (Given that everything in Perl is an operator, including the
"functions", perhaps it's not too strange to consider this operator a
function?)

Could -s (under MacPerl) be modified slightly to return the size of the
data fork (as it currently does) if called in scalar context, and the size
of both forks if called in list context?

Is that too off the wall?

Knowing nothing about the implementation... :-)

- Vicki
