Re^2: File Globbing in Windows One-Liner

I am using ActiveState Perl 5.10 on Windows Vista in a command window initiated by cmd.exe.
The error is produced by the Perl one-liner:

perl -p -i -e "s/old/new/" *.txt

"Its not how hard you work, its how much you get done."

There's no syntax error in that. You said you tried stuff that gave you "The syntax of the command is incorrect." By the way, `-i` with no extension doesn't work in Windows.	[reply] [d/l]

Maybe `perl.exe` is not installed on the Windows machine?	[reply] [d/l]
