Thread: ECPG parse.pl and parse2.pl

Surely we don't need parse.pl and parse2.pl?  parse.pl, the one that's
not used, it already showing signs of semi-bit-rot:

Use of assignment to $[ is deprecated at ./parse.pl line 21.

I propose that we move parse2.pl to parse.pl and only keep the one.

Yes.  This was objected to immediately when Michael made it that way in
the first place, but he didn't change it.  I don't think we need to use
HEAD as a repository for obsolete code, when we have a perfectly good
SCM.

I agree, thanks for taking care.

Originally I wanted to keep parse.pl around for a bit, so I could run both and
compare the output over the development cycle. But with 9.1 being so close,
there's no need for the old script anymore.
