Re: Comparing directories

no, Perl comes with no such troubles. But see yourself. Type-or-copy

perl -we '$dpage = "/****/****/*********/public_html/weapons"; $REPOSIT = "/****/****/*********/public_html/weapons"; print "Hooray\n" if ( $dpage eq $REPOSIT )' # on a unix shell

or in a Windows/DOS-box:

perl -we "$dpage = '/****/****/*********/public_html/weapons'; $REPOSIT = '/****/****/*********/public_html/weapons'; print qq/Hooray\n/ if ( $dpage eq $REPOSIT )"

Considering your problem: the values actually differ.

Do they differ? It prints 'Hooray' for me. Personally, I would suspect the comparison never gets executed, that some outer condition ensures that code is not invoked. I would urge using Data::Dumper, non-interactively, and of the debugger flag, -d ( or better yet, emacs and M-x perldbg ). -- `TTTATCGGTCGTTATATAGATGTTTGCA`	[reply]
