in reply to Perl on Win98 vs. Win/NT/2000?

are you sure you want those backticks in the @dmap assignment? Cause map isn't any program that comes with win98 (or NT/ 2000) that I can see, and the source of the illegal op may be from running it, not the perl script.

    The map command is a Novell written-for-DOS command. The command when executed from the DOS prompt executes without error and returns the expected results. See my reply to Ovid about comparisons between ls and dir, which I feel illustrates the point better.
