Re^2: Target filename of a symbolic link

Duh. Yes, readlink it is. Why didn't I see that? I'm sure I looked at every perlfunc entry with "link" in the name... Thank you.

On nix, `perldoc perlfunc \| less` (or with the appropriate `$PAGER` setup), and search for `link`. On Win, if you don't have a useful pager, it's a bit harder...try loading the HTML page and searching that. Regardless, there is always perldoc.com: the perlfunc page, or search for perlfunc, or search for link. -QM -- Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of	[reply] [d/l] [select]
