Account Request: perror

Account Request Extension Name: perror Synopsis: After you do exec (et al) and get an error number, you shouldn't have to pop out to a shell to do 'perror' to find out what that error number means. This extension adds a very modest function 'strerror' which returns the corresponding error message from the OS. From the 'perror' man pages, it became blatantly obvious that 'strsignal' was the exact same formula, so I tossed that in as well. Details: Download and source and minimal documentation available here: http://www.l-i-e.com/perror/ Several folks on php-internals and php-general asked me to add this to PECL when I posted it a couple months ago, and I'm just now getting round to it, as I was buried under at work for awhile. I'll be using the email: lynch AT php DOT net for this project (which I've had for years and under-utilize) I think I already have CVS access to Docs on php.net, so I reckon you just need to change whatever flags I'd need to keep 'perror' current, rather than add a new acount.
