Could I take a look at your perl please? I think it could be of great
use to me. Also, how do you grab all the savesets times (and their
volumes) for non browsable savesets? I have used `nsrinfo -v client |
grep filename` ...but that is an ugly hack at best, and only shows you
browsable savesets... I want the info that mminfo gives you back with
the `mminfo -a -v -c client` for a single filename.
Thanks!
