convert0.8.pl This utility converts existing components to use new syntax introduced in Mason 0.8. 1. Old-style mc_commands (mc_comp, mc_file, etc.) are converted to new-style $m methods ($m->comp, $m->file, etc.) See Commands.pod for all the conversions to be performed. 2. References to request variable $REQ are converted to $m. All directories will be traversed recursively. We STRONGLY recommend that you backup your components, and/or use the -t flag to preview, before running this program for real. Files are modified destructively and no automatic backups are created.
