Re^2: Out of date over <> and 5.10

Windows had problem with running non-executables with redirection. I thought that was a thing of the past, but I guess not.

Huh?

c:\test>type junk.pl
print while <>;

c:\test>perl junk.pl junk.pl
print while <>;

c:\test>perl junk.pl < junk.pl
print while <>;

c:\test>junk.pl junk.pl
print while <>;

c:\test>junk.pl < junk.pl
print while <>;

c:\test>junk junk.pl
print while <>;

c:\test>junk < junk.pl
print while <>;

c:\test>del junk.pl

c:\test>copy con junk.pl
print "'$_'" while <>;
^Z
        1 file(s) copied.

c:\test>type junk.pl | perl junk.pl
'print "'$_'" while <>;
'
c:\test>type junk.pl | junk.pl
'print "'$_'" while <>;
'
c:\test>type junk.pl | junk
'print "'$_'" while <>;

Am I missing something? You say "Huh?", but you seem to not suffer from the problem either.	[reply]

You said you; "thought it was a thing of the past", indicating that it is (still?) a problem? I think the problem--when it existed--was more a problem with the way perl assocs were set up (by AS)--not a fundamental issue with Windows redirection.

You said you; "thought it was a thing of the past", indicating that it is (still?) a problem? It happened to the OP. I think the problem--when it existed--was more a problem with the way perl assocs were set up (by AS)--not a fundamental issue with Windows redirection. Lots of people are/were missing the %1 in their association. That's a different problem. It works fine for the OP when he provides an argument. It's when he redirects STDIN that he has a problem.
