- This version of grep skips binary files by default; this behaviour is inconsistent with GNU version but the difference could be addressed later
- If the file argument exists but cannot be opened, grep was skipping the file with a strange "binary file" message
- I found this when testing "grep -s", which is expected to exit with 2 if a file couldn't be opened
- I triggered open() error by removing file permissions on my Linux system
- Correct the binary file condition; skip the file argument if file is binary (filetest -B) and we're not running grep -a
- Correct the logic for exit code; $Errors should increment regardless of -s because exit code is determined from it
- Bump version
- With patch applied, grep (without -s) correctly prints the error from open() (Permission Denied for my test), and exits with code 2
- Regression test: "perl grep -s pat1 bad.file.name" --> exit 2, silent

nice catch
changes: -s now exits with correct value if It cannot read the file; -a works correctly if the perl thinks the file is binary and you selected -a |
