Re^3: sort system call problem with activestate perl

Thank you Moritz,

that makes sense. However, I don't really know how I can call Cwd from cygwin ("command not found" - I must have a thick day), but this works, working around the string literal issue:

perl -e 'my $path = `pwd`; system "sort -T " . $path . " --buffer-size=10 ../somefile.txt"'

thank you,
bop

PS: I forgot to mention previously that I use such a small buffer size in order to recreate the problem I had (but I'm sure you guessed that).
