in thread What's your programming style?

Salut, Laurent. Not for a long time has it been like that in my experience. I am on MacOS Sierra, but it's been darwin for as long as I can remember.

$ perl -E 'say $^O' darwin $ perl -v This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 1 (v5.26.1) built for darwin-2l +evel $ uname -a Darwin MYHOSTNAME 16.7.0 Darwin Kernel Version 16.7.0: Thu Jun 21 20:0 +7:39 PDT 2018; root:xnu-3789.73.14~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

See Re: Get macOS Version for recent discussion.


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    Does this mean for modern Macs (MacOS) you can simply write Unix-like Perl, including Unix-like path names?

      Yes, because it's a BSD-derived system.
