Thanks John,
But that isn't the full fix.
Surely it is sufficient to match the string as follows:
if(/Ghostscript\s*(?:Version|BETA RELEASE|TESTER RELEASE|)\s*(\d+[.]?\d*)/i) {
# match the empty string this way ---------^^
$gs_version = $2;
# ^------ version number is in $2, not $1
}
elsif(/^\s*Available devices/i) {
$flag = 1; # Now look for the devices
}
Hope this helps,
