Package: fileutils
Version: 4.0o-5

i have a line in a 3 year old perl script which reads:

my $LASTMON = qx( ls -l --full-time $fn{PIDFILE} | cut -c47-49 );

and this worked fine up until yesterday when i upgraded fileutils to
the above version. now i need:

my $LASTMON = qx( ls -l --full-time --color=never $fn{PIDFILE} | cut -c48-50 );

to get the same result. i.e., i needed to add --color=never AND the
cut -c option had to be incremented by 1.
