Monks,
I have a perl scrit which accepts directory path and filenames through different argument names.
For example :-
perl script_name.pl -dir "/home/test/input_dir" -file input_file_1 inp
+ut_file_2 input_file_3
In my script I would open the files as follows :-
foeach my $file_names ( @file_names_passed ) {
open ( FH , "$dir_path/$file_name) or die "$!";
# managed to do some operation on the file.
close(FH);
}
But, if I run the same script in windows OS, I have to specify "\\" for delimiting the path. ( unix it is "/" ).
Is there any common character available to delimit the path regardless of what OS I am using this script ?
Apologies If I anyone got irked because of this question.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
