Re: Re: Delivering "portable" code between POSIX and Windows

2. This can be resolved via creating a second file assocation binding and putting the -T there. Thus *.plt are Taint sensitive perl scripts and .pl are not. (Or whatever.)

5. binmode isnt a no-op in the *nix world anymore afaiui. Its necessary to open multibyte character files in byte mode.

The latter was new to me. But then, it's something that was added for the ongoing Unicode support effort which is (historically speaking) relatively new. Thanks for the pointer. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

It cracks me up a touch. Unix'y types tend to climb on the soapbox about (not) having to binmode, when in fact *nix is pretty much an exception in this regard, and now will have to do it occasionally anyway. lol. --- demerphq _{<Elian> And I do take a kind of perverse pleasure in having an OO assembly language...}	[reply] [d/l]

I never climbed on that particular soapbox, and it's still not going to be something you'll need to think about on nixoid systems most of the time even now. I am merely content I don't^W very rarely have to deal with such silly issues. `:)` Makeshifts last the longest.*	[reply]
