I'm not understanding how the backticks operator is working in ActiveState.
How can I execute $cmd so that it "works" as I intend?
foreach ( 7100 .. 7114 ) {
my $path = File::Spec->catdir( $topdir, "$_/hosted/docs/cdm4/msoff
+ice" );
my $cmd = "rmdir /s /q $path";
print "$cmd \n";
print `$cmd` . "\n";
}
Some output shows that it is doing something funny to the /s and /q cmdline options of rmdir.
rmdir /s /q D:\sites\cust\7112\hosted\docs\cdm4\msoffice
rmdir: failed to remove `/s': No such file or directory
rmdir: failed to remove `/q': No such file or directory
rmdir: failed to remove `D:\\sites\\cust\\7112\\hosted\\docs\\cdm4\\ms
+office': Directory not empty
I'm running:
D:\z>perl -v <br>
This is perl, v5.10.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread

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).
