Considering that $cc comes from %Config, it could technically contain anything. For instance, it may contain "/foo/bar/:[baz]". Now, while the latter is valid in most Unix file systems, it's highly unlikely to find a C compiler in such a path. Unlike VMS. A full path in VMS consists of a device name, a directory, a file name (including extension), and a version number. The device name and the directory are separated by a colon, while the directory itself is enclosed in square brackets. Which explains not only that $cc may match this, but also why this specific match was choosen.

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).
