Hello!
Why are there the following Perl scripts with the same names as
binaries, but with a .pl extension, in the EPICS Base 3.15.6 installed
bin/<arch> directory?
caget.pl
cainfo.pl
camonitor.pl
caput.pl
Are the .pl scripts workalikes to the binaries? If so, what benefit
do they provide? If no benefit, then I think they should be removed
in a future release series (e.g., EPICS Base 7.0, assuming it's still
OK to introduce breaking changes in that release series since it's a
development series without a production release).
Thanks!
Lewis
