$eight_dot_three = $ENV{'temp'}; #on my system return value is 8.3
truncated directory paths
question 1:
is there some setting in the registry that controls how env var paths are to
be stored and returned? specifically in the old 8.3 truncated ~ version, or
the newer win32 full paths? if I can fix this by making a system wide
change, this would be preferred.
question 2:
if there is not a setting in the registry that controls this behavior (or if
no one is able to direct me to the proper registry based answer). is there
some alternative Perl way to convert the 8.3 path to the full non truncated
path value. as in
$full_nontruncated_path = &magical_function($eight_dot_three);
thanks for your insights.
