Re^6: Darwin and File::HomeDir

What are you talking about? The user shouldn't have to even know that File::HomeDir is being used by one of his scripts, much less possess some "common knowledge" about it.

If you think that, then why you suggest a patch for File::HomeDir documentation?

The user being discussed in this thread is the code writer who writes

use File::HomeDir;
[download]

and then his code breaks because File::HomeDir returns a path with spaces in it.

File::HomeDir is working as designed. There is no bug in File::HomeDir.

The user being discussed in this thread is the code writer who writes Actually, no. I'm the only one who used the term, and I was referring to the user the of the script. If you think that, then why you suggest a patch for File::HomeDir documentation? To try to avoid the creation of buggy modules. File::HomeDir is working as designed. There is no bug in File::HomeDir. ~~That's what I said.~~I agree, I never said there was.	[reply]

If you believe that, then what was all that stuff about imposing limits on users? You're switching your argument midstream, just to keep the thread going.	[reply]

I never thought there was a bug in File::HomeDir, and I never said I did. I said the only thing that can be done is to add a warning to File::HomeDir's documentation, and that anything else would have detrimental effects or would be near impossible.	[reply]
