The following is not returning what I had expected...
SUN1-BATCH>perl -e '$a=q{/var/run}; $home=q{/var/123};print "Yes - $a like
$home\n" if $a =~ /^$home/;'
SUN1-BATCH>perl -e '$a=q{/var/run}; $home=q{/var/ra};print "Yes - $a like
$home\n" if $a =~ /^$home/;'
SUN1-BATCH>perl -e '$a=q{/var/run}; $home=q{/var/ru};print "Yes - $a like
$home\n" if $a =~ /^$home/;'
Yes - /var/run like /var/ru
I would have "assumed" that /var/run would NOT be "like" /var/ru just as
/var/run is not "like" /var/ra...
