It has to use a separate script to do that. I don't really want to add
another one just for this.
(thinks a bit) I suppose I can make it do:
my $url = "http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/branches_of_interest.txt"; my $branches_of_interest = `perl
-MLWP::Simple-e "getprint(q{$url})"`;
Maybe that's the best option. It's certainly going to be less code than
anything else :-)
