in thread ActivePERL is the devil?

use / everywhere because Perl at Windows understand it very well unlike Windows itself

I've been told (on PerlMonks) that Windows system calls understand / just fine. It's the individual tools and shell commands that don't.

In fact, it seems the shell tools understand / just fine if it's in quotes:

G:\>md /test The syntax of the command is incorrect. G:\>md "/test" G:\>copy nul /test/file The syntax of the command is incorrect. G:\>copy nul "/test/file" 1 file(s) copied. G:\>dir /test Invalid switch - "". G:\>dir "/test" Volume in drive G is CLFS01-USR-N Volume Serial Number is 5C24-AC1F Directory of G:\test 2007/06/08 09:21 AM <DIR> . 2007/06/08 09:21 AM <DIR> .. 2007/06/08 09:21 AM 0 file 1 File(s) 0 bytes 2 Dir(s) 81,590,624,256 bytes free
