in reply to a darwin japh

Strange. It seems to work on linux (with perl 5.8.1). (Maybe you meant it works on darwin but not on windows?)

Update: maybe it depends on the shell too. I have gnu bash 2.05b.0(1)-release.

    I run panther on the laptop on which it was created, however testing on freebsd 4.8x and some odd flavor of linux failed :-/ well, the more the merrier! the part that i saw failing was not the sort, but had to do with the backticks.
      It works fine under Fedora Core 1 (Perl 5.8.1), at least. What was the error and perl version on the failed platform?
        perl 5.005_03 on freebsd 4.8
        rekcah another Perl tsuJ: not found
        but the backticks should be capturing that output.
