[p4perl] Using global options with P4Perl.

[daniel.jacobs@symbian.com]

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the prompt response. 

I wanted to parse the output, and I had used the global -s option in P4 
before, as the P4 docs state it's meant to aid parsing. It wasn't for 
anything special just trying to match the lines of output that match paths 
in certain areas of our P4 depot.

Thanks again.

Dan

You can't do it, and the main (non-technical) reason for that is that you 
shouldn't need to: there are much better ways to do things in P4Perl.

If you can tell me what you're trying to achieve I'd be happy to offer 
some 
advice.

Tony
