in thread PerlPowerTools, Windows and ActivePerl

Thanks, that's a very good idea, which could solve my emacs issues.

But a pure Perl solution might be interesting too. (like embedded in the debugger for an interactive shell experience)

update

unfortunately not that easy

    Not sure why diff fails for you - works for me; as does grep:

    VinsWorldcom@C:\Users\VinsWorldcom> grep --help | grep exclude --exclude=PATTERN files that match PATTERN will be skipped. --exclude-from=FILE files that match PATTERN in FILE will be s +kipped. VinsWorldcom@C:\Users\VinsWorldcom> grep --exclude grep: option `--exclude' requires an argument Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]... Try `grep --help' for more information.
      $ grep --help|grep exclude $

      my GIT version is from 2015, but since I have to migrate to a new box I'll update the version anyway :)

      update

      thanks, installing a fresh version solves the issue! :)
