Re: Grave accent caveats

They are equal for me. Maybe you're picking up a different echo (one that ignores the -n arg)? What's the following give you?

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Data::Dumper;

$text = "deepak.gulati";
$hash1 = `echo -n $text`

print Dumper( $hash1 );

Are you seeing the newline in the dumper? What has the hash given by both?

I think it's really probable that his `echo` does not have `-n` and the backquotes are giving him the hash for `"-n deepak.gulati\n"` []s, HTH, Massa (κς,πμ,πλ)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

And Massa hit the nail on the head: `my $text= "-n deepak.gulati\n"; my $hash2 = Digest::SHA1::sha1_hex($text); print "$hash2\n"; Output: 98bed27374f41bdef95f4dbc6cb3ff3728721837` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks derby, Here is my output (on the Mac machine) $VAR1 = 'deepak.gulati';	[reply]
