in reply to Creating bash functions using perls $ENV interface

Hey guys, I have another related question....

I have a WindowsXP system running ActivePerl 5.8.0. I've defined the environment functions as described in the discussion above, but I've noticed that somewhere along the line, the function names are being made into all caps. ie this works

#!perl -w $CYGWIN_BIN="C:\\cygwin\\bin"; $ENV{TEST_FUNC} = "() {\necho Hey, it works!;\n };\n"; system(("$CYGWIN_BIN\\bash.exe", "-c \"declare -f\"")); system(("$CYGWIN_BIN\\bash.exe", "-c \"TEST_FUNC\""));

....whereas this doesn't:

#!perl -w $CYGWIN_BIN="C:\\cygwin\\bin"; $ENV{test_func} = "() {\necho Hey, it works!;\n };\n"; system(("$CYGWIN_BIN\\bash.exe", "-c \"declare -f\"")); system(("$CYGWIN_BIN\\bash.exe", "-c \"test_func\""));

Any ideas? This could be an issue with the windows environment, and could explain the reason why sauoqs solution didn't work for me....

Cheers guys!
Mike
