Re (tilly) 2: How do I migrate a set of Unix scripts to Windows ActivePERL?

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";

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]
