Re^2: perl sort on windows

And Windows utilities never have -something options, only /something options.

jarwulf, can you do a "which sort" on the command prompt? If this works you must be in a *ix like environment under Windows (e.g. cygwin), which will lead to a very different answer than under "Windows rare".

If not, you might want to consider getting one to avoid portability issues (well, many of them) in the future.

What I meant was that `dir -?` is not `dir /?` under Windows.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Right, and "dir" is not a "window utility" it is a command `$ help \|head -n1 For more information on a specific command, type HELP command-name` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
