Re^3: Perl Polyglot Problem

It seems that her installation has warnings turned on by default.

Wasn't that apparent before? I doubt the actual installation has warnings on by default. She's probably invoking csvsplit.cmd directly with perl (perl -w csvsplit.cmd) or she has a a perl.bat in her path which invokes perl.exe -w or something silly like that ...

%0 is appropriate for .bat files, because that works on Windows 95 et al. Only Windows NT and descendants support the %~ syntax

pl2bat already differentiates between 9x and NT, so the users of NT should have the benefit of not searching %PATH% again :)

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

I'm sure that she didn't have Perl installed already, and she admitted to knowing nothing about perl, so wouldn't be running it herself. I even had to provide instructions on how to start a Command Prompt!	[reply]
