in reply to Case insensitive Filesystems.

Use the variable $^O to see which operating system you're on before you do it?


Nobody says perl looks like line-noise any more
kids today don't know what line-noise IS ...

    That is insufficient as operating systems may mount foreign filesystems.

    In addition to what duelafn said, it was also pointed out in an earlier thread by Fletch...

    $^0 returns what OS perl was built on... not on what it's running.

    See this node: Re^2: OS400 Pace - architecture?

    Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
