Re: Re: Bug in 'strict'??

You're right merlyn but that's not the case here. I just reduced it to the minimum, and this DOES work without 'strict' and DOESN'T with 'strict'. I surely want to know why (and btw: it matches...)

What is $CGI::SL? Might it be different in "use strict"? -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply]

IIRC $CGI::SL represents the path separator for the current OS I think you can also have $CGI::OS to identify the OS	[reply]

$CGI::SL is the value of the 'slash' (/ on unix, \\ on DOS, etcetera)...it is used to only find the last part of a file/path combination (the original filename) But I've tried if $localfilename gets a value at all. It does. If I print $localfilename after the assign statement, it perfectly represents what I want. But right at the moment 'open' is called, it loses it's value. And only when I use strict.
