I agree with your basic solution, but since he will be doing his development in Windows, shouldn't that be 'file system neutral'? hence not using the unix separator "/" between the directory component and the filename component?
In a move to simplify porting of scripts (and save the sanity of Windows Perl coders), ActiveState made it so that the "/" path separator works on Windows too, and is converted internally. We don't have to think about it. And it's easier than trying to remember to escape backslashes, too. :-)
Props for doing the Right Thing!
This will clearly help moi as I dodder around from OS to OS, and whine about 'the good old days'.... 8-)
Which version of Perl from ActiveState did this show up in?
