Re: Re: package for directory naming on NT systems?

Or use forward slashes. Paths with forward slashes work just fine in Perl on Windows.

Update: I had written "forward quotes" when I meant to write "forward slashes".

...until you pass the file name to an external program and that program was written by Microsoft. Though I like to use regular slashes in Perl under NT and only rarely run into problems. A quick s#/#\\#g before calling any external program is all that is required. - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply]

Update: chipmunk fixed his post, so this is largely a useless followup. By 'forward quotes' are you talking about back-ticks (qx//)? I thought these interpolated just like qq// would..? I mentioned single-quotes, but I'm kind of confused as to how you could use this to build a pathname in a string.	[reply]
