commit-email.pl vs commit-email.rb

Hi all,

(note: I'm not on the list, please CC.)

I have a fix to an older version of commit-email.pl for handling the
"My Name <me@there.com>" address format.

  svn diff -r 1057:1058
   http://scratchcomputing.com/svn/external/svn_utils/commit-email.pl

I can fix this against trunk, but a few questions...

1. This requires the list incantation of a piped open -- I would have
to lookup what perl version first implemented it. How far back is the
compatibility target for perl? 5.6.x ?

2. What is the intent of commit-email.rb? Are the two going to be
maintained in parallel for the forseeable future?

(Kouhei, commit-email.rb will have the same issues and unfortunately
there is no syntax in ruby to pass atomic bits to a pipe open (avoiding
shell interpolation) so the option is to quote/escape the addresses or
use a fork & exec structure.)

Thanks,
Eric
