cat /proc/bus/i2c on a 2.4 machine. look what it gives you: bus number, adapter name, algo name. The perl code pulls each of those out. Now do cat /sys/class/i2c-adapter/*/device/name on a 2.6 machine. It gives you adapter name (bus number is in the *). Algo name isn't available. Your assignment: scan /sys/class/i2c-adapter for installed busses, get the name for each, put in a dummy algo name.
