Re^2: PERL stopped working for built-in DOS functions under XP

COMSPEC isn't used.

>perl -le"print '[',`dir /b a`,']'"
[a
]

>set COMSPEC=notexist.exe

>perl -le"print '[',`dir /b a`,']'"
[a
]

Update: On the other hand, a bad PATH would be a problem.

>c:\progs\perl5100\bin\perl -le"print '[',`dir /b a`,']'"
[a
]

>set PATH=

>c:\progs\perl5100\bin\perl -le"print '[',`dir /b a`,']'"
[]
