[Radiance-general] are there any document for perl file included in Radiance/bin folder?

[Rob Guglielmetti]

There are a few Radiance programs that are not compiled C code but rather
are interpreted programs, generally written in Perl (but a few
csh dinosaurs remain). In order to use them, you need to have Perl
installed, and properly configured. Once this is complete, that
perl program will execute just the same as any regular Radiance executable.
The man page for genskyvec is here:
