Good question. In fact, I am in the right directory. I've even checked to make sure that the file is there.

$ ls -l saveme
-rw-r--r--    1 jconner  jconner         0 04-09 12:07 saveme

I also decided to check a few more ways and found that the first file is getting skipped! Very wierd. I've never seen this before.

$ ls saveme .vimrc | perl -n -e '
print <>,"\n";'
saveme

$ ls saveme .vimrc | perl -n -e '
  >while (<> ) {
  >   print $_,"\n";
  >}
  >'
saveme

Notice in these examples that I gave ls two files to query and this it should be that ls pipes out the two files to the perl one-liner. Btw, I double-checked that .vimrc exists too. :)

$ ls -l .vimrc
-rw-r--r--    1 jconner  jconner       831 01-18 17:55 .vimrc
