how can I add it?
home:/usr/local/src/xchat-1.7.7# patch -p1 < ~fzzgrr/perl.c.patch 
missing header for unified diff at line 3 of patch
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|--- perl.c     Mon Jun  4 14:23:51 2001
|+++ perl.c.new Thu Jun 14 00:22:49 2001
--------------------------
File to patch: 

What shall I do now?

Thanks
Uli
