           Summary: Unification of using null device in perl scripts
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests

To use a really platform independent perl scripts we mustn't use /dev/null as
null device.
In perl there is File::Spec->devnull() to determine platorm dependent null
device.

I prefer using File::Spec->devnull() everywhere. But there are few 
place, where the shell command is in `...`. (VCSUtils.pm and bisect-builds)  
In these files we can use this method:

my $devNull = File::Spec->devnull();
`... $devNull ...`
