Re^3: $^O empty in windows powershell

my guess is that doublequotes are stripped from the input

PS C:\Windows\system32> perl -E'say @ARGV' 'say "bla"'
say bla
PS C:\Windows\system32> perl -E'say @ARGV' 'say qq(bla)'
say qq(bla)
PS C:\Windows\system32> echo 'say "bla"'
say "bla"
PS C:\Windows\system32> echo 'print "bla"' |perl
bla
PS C:\Windows\system32> echo 'print "bla"' |perl -E'say <>'
print "bla"
PS C:\Windows\system32>
[download]

this could be an artifact of Perl trying to repair input from CMD ... (?)

(I think eyepops will soon come up with an older discussion about the Perl trying to cleverly fix CMD idiosyncrasies ;)

> (I think eyepops will soon come up with an older discussion about the Perl trying to cleverly fix CMD idiosyncrasies ;) well maybe I'm faster, see these threads (Windows) verbatim command line arguments inside Perl script Re^3: Perl Rename There is a lot of voodoo going on to fix CMD input. My guess is that Perl needs to avoid that, if the invoking process is a Powershell. But I'm out of my depth here ...

I think eyepops will soon come up with an older discussion about the Perl trying to cleverly fix CMD idiosyncrasies LanX, I'm also out of my depth here, and have no desire to become an expert in fixing CMD idiosyncrasies ... generally, I try to avoid the shell as much as possible and do everything in Perl. :) I think you may be waiting for ikegami, who seems to be our Windows shell master. For some light relief, I did find a couple of links though: Re: Some Help for a Report About Perl (One-liner References) Re^3: [OT] 'perl' is not the 'perl' reported by 'which perl' (which vs type References) Re: perl one liner for csv file one field (useless use of cat and other awards References) The wise coder (excellent poem by hippo)	[reply]

Well, yeah. He might know if and how PS differs. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the 𐍀𐌴𐍂𐌻 Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]
