Hey all, Taking my first stabb at porting a script I wrote to win32. I'm running into some trouble globbing the file names I want. Here is my code:
use strict; no strict "refs"; use Mail::Sender; my $f2dir = "C:\\windows\\desktop\\tmp"; print $f2dir; my @names = <$f2dir\*.f2mail>; print @names;
I'm using ActiveState's port of Perl. The $f2dir comes across fine, but I get no output for the @names. Can someone tell me where I am going wrong? Thanks in advance, Bradley
Where ever there is confusion to be had... I'll be there.
