The Windows OS file system is case-preserving but case-insensitive. `c:\>cd @wOrK\PeRl c:\@Work\Perl> c:\@Work\Perl>dir uPD* Volume in drive C is Acer Volume Serial Number is 1234-5678 Directory of c:\@Work\Perl 02/13/2010 07:57 PM 4,098 Updfxgen.pl 02/13/2010 07:57 PM 3,956 Updfxgen.pl1 02/13/2010 07:57 PM 33,199 updgen.pl 02/13/2010 07:57 PM 1,732 Updungen.pl 02/13/2010 07:57 PM 1,589 Updungen.pl1 5 File(s) 44,574 bytes 0 Dir(s) 256,281,104,384 bytes free` [download] Update: Expanded the example. Also: Perl commands for the Windows API (not for the command line!) accept a / (forward slash) just as well as a \ (backslash), alleviating the need to escape backslashes in double-quoted strings.

If the file system is case-insensitive, then chdir('data'), chdir('Data'), chdir('DATA'), etc will all switch to your data directory, however it was named at creation. If the file system is case-sensitive, then only one of chdir('data'), chdir('Data'), chdir('DATA'), etc will switch to your data directory.	[reply]

You can't update your previous replies. You are Anonymous Monk which has the small advantage of not needing to register or log on, but has many disadvantages too like not being able to edit your nodes or being advised when someone has replied to one of your nodes. True laziness is hard work	[reply]

You need to have been logged in when you made the post. Otherwise, anyone would be able to update any anonymous post.	[reply]

What do you mean by not working? I didn't say either would work; I said they were the same. Do you mean they're not the same for you? If so, why do you think they are different?	[reply]
