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?
