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

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
