I think what ur asking is why does this work under Cygwin but not under
Eclipse? Or vice versa? It all depends on what "shell like thing" the ``
command is being filtered through.
Cygwin paths and Windows paths are not interchangable. If u run it under
Cygwin the paths will be like /c/perl/perl.exe and find can grok that and do
something useful. But under Windows that path is C:\perl\perl.exe, which
find will choke on if invoked under a unix like shell. The find command
will see C:perlperl.exe. U have to double the backslashes or convert them
to forward slashes to keep shell translation from destorying ur command line.
[attic:/d/backups]$ find d:\backups
find: `d:backups': No such file or directory
