Try double quotes (the default Windows shell does not use `'` for quoting)	[reply] [d/l]

The quotes are not the problem. Windows is. The example was meant as an excercise to the reader, but that doesn't seem to work :( `perl -pi.bak -we...` will solve this specific issue, but it won't fix the way he thinks Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply] [d/l]

The quotes are not the problem. Are you sure? (It might not be the only problem, but I think at least one...) I don't have a Windows box here to try, but IIRC, `'` is not treated as a special character by the Windows shell, so it just passes on the single quotes as is. IOW, the Perl program would get the string constant `'s{Text::CSV}{Text::CSV_XS}g'` as the code to run (instead of the substitution command without the quotes) — which is why it rightly complains `"Useless use of a constant in void context"`. You'd get the same error on Unix if you had typed (of course, this doesn't work on Windows either... just to illustrate what's happening): `$ perl -pi -we"'s{Text::CSV}{Text::CSV_XS}g'" *.pl Useless use of a constant in void context at -e line 1.` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
