RE: Getting HEAD revision number from a URL

LOL I wasn't measuring length... I was responding to a user who said
that they couldn't use single quote for some reason.

Sure, but then it's longer than my previous post.

"/^r(\d+)/&&print\"set HeadRev=$1\"" # Yours
"/^r(\d+)/&&print'set HeadRev=',$1" # Mine
'/^r(\d+)/&&print"set HeadRev=$1"' # J Robert Ray's

In fact, when I'm not Perl-golfing but doing one-liners for real, I
usually resort to qq():

perl -e "/^r(\d+)/ && print qq(set HeadRev=$1)"

etc.
