Re^2: Strawberry Perl on Windows 10 file test operators do not work as expected

With the way Perl has been going, I don't know if I'd trust things like this:

    if ($OS eq "MSWin32")
    elsif ($OS eq "linux")
[download]

I'm still waiting to see if Strawberry comes out with a perl 5.32 or perl 7.xx. Bizarre and frustrating times.

if ($OS eq "MSWin32") That has always worked fine for the last 25 years that I've been using perl. However, I don't assume that it will work as expected forever. But then I also don't want to guess at what might be needed if the osname is changed. I'm still waiting to see if Strawberry comes out with a perl 5.32 or perl 7.xx Recent posts by kmx indicate that he has started work on the next release - see this github thread for example. I expect it will be perl-5.32.0, though this has not been explicitly stated any place that I know of. Cheers, Rob	[reply]
