Re: How do I migrate a set of Unix scripts to Windows ActivePERL?

As one of the others said, it's not that hard unless something else is broken:

use lib 'c:/some/perl/lib';
[download]

works fine. And if the directories are on hte same drive, you can leave off the directory:

use lib '/some/perl/lib';
[download]

And as another noted, slashes either way are fine tho' you need to be careful within double quotes.

You only need to be careful in double quotes? What does this short program do? `my $dir = 'c:\this\is\a\dir\'; print "$dir\n";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

It complains that the string is not terminated. Touche (accent is assumed). So use forward slashes, even on windows and avoid that mess? :)	[reply]

Using forward slashes is a solution. Another is to always double backslashes as a reminder to yourself and (more importantly) co-workers that single quotes are not quite literal strings. Of course you could always just avoid Windows altogether...	[reply]
