[LDAPsh-devel] Rename and mkdir

[<po...@li...>]

I've just posted (not committed!) a patch to SF removing these two
function names from ldapsh.  The functionality is of course still
available through the aliases mv and create.

<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=965818&group_id=54115&atid=472733>

The problem is that these two function names collide with perl builtin
functions, IMO gratuitously so.  As explained in the patch tracker, a
client application built on top of ldapsh makes use of these functions
assuming they will do what they usually do in perl.

Again in my opinion, we should not break such assumptions without good
reason.  As far as I can tell, with this patch applied, the only
builtin function we shadow is exit(), and I think that one is
justifiable.

Comments?  Should I apply?
