No, "here doc" is a *NIX convention, not Windows. The Windows Powershell (which attempts to bring a lot of *NIX shell goodness to Windows machines) does have a sort-of implementation of the here doc concept: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_document#Windows_PowerShell but its using a different syntax and wouldn't work with your perl one-liners. As a rule, perl one-liners are not portable across platforms, and in some cases, even across shells. -- Erez "The government forgets that George Orwell's 1984 was a warning, and not a blueprint" http://www.nonviolent-conflict.org/ -- http://www.whyweprotest.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
