Hello,
There _is_ a rmdir.bat in the perl\bin directory, at least in my Perl
installation v5.6.1, I do not know which module installed it.
I think this one was used.
If someone was wondering that his DOS commands are not working as
expected, try to search in the Perl\bin directory.
I had the same _problem_ with ping in the past on a W2k system.
Calling ping the ping.bat in the Perl\bin directory was used, calling
ping.exe the OS ping was used.
Now I have XP the the OS commands are used.
regards,
Reinhard

Subject: RE: system("rmdir...") not working like it once did
I had the same issue and tracked it down to multiple versions of rmdir on
my
PC. The one in the path wasn't necessarily the one that PERL was trying to
use. Once I explicitly set it to use d:\utils\rmdir (or whatever) things
were OK again..
I had also patched recently, maybe this is the cause ?
Looks like that might be part of it. There's now definitely more than one
'rmdir' floating around. I find that I can invoke the shell version of
'rmdir' by running:
system("rmdir /S /Q Math-MPFR-1.07\\t <nul");
and that works fine. But without the redirection I get the "other" crappy
rmdir which doesn't work.
I'm still a bit puzzled as to why the backslash is not being interpreted as
an escape.
Cheers,
Rob
