Re^3: tar sytem command

Good point. I was thinking there was a module, but couldn't make the mental leap past File::Path which is not what I was looking for.

By the way, how do you find out what the directory separator is? Check $/ and guess?

By the way, how do you find out what the directory separator is? File::Spec is another core module (comes with Perl) that can be used for file pathname manipulations such as splitting or combining a path into the individual directory componenets. File::Spec takes care of the details so you don't even need to worry what the directory separator is.	[reply]
