It does, more or less, do the same thing. I didn't know perl had a
saner readlink() than C or the shell (in C, I had to do some tricks to
make it work). Interesting.
Nevertheless, since I got enough requests and the program is working,
I've now uploaded the sources to my version to tsx-11.mit.edu. It
will probably take a while until it is installed into the archive.
The program is also available from <URL:ftp://ftp.jyu.fi/private/antkaij/>.
Note that you cannot go to the /private directory; you must cd
directly to /private/antkaij.
To compile the program, you need the libgc4 package from slink or
potato, or an equivalent library compiled from the sources in
<URL:http://reality.sgi.com/employees/boehm_mti/gc_source/>.
I'll produce a .deb in the near future. In the meantime, use the
source.
