Re: Re: use File::Basename - need to specify OS?

Just a clarification...where is your file coming from? In my case, the file that's chosen for upload comes from a Windows machine. The script is run on a bsd-powered server.

My "file" is coming from your code, where you state "`# $file set to 'C:/Windows/images/hello.gif'`". I presume, now, that you mean 'C:\Windows\images\hello.gif', which indeed will fail, cause of the backslashes. (foo\bar can be a valid filename under *NIX) -- b10m All code is usually tested, but rarely trusted.	[reply]

Ah, I see. I made a mistake there and have corrected it. It should have been '\' instead of '/'. I tried your code but it returned undef...	[reply]
