The following is a FAQ, right?
Does anyone know the answer to the question posed at http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/perl-win32-admin/213580 I too am having trouble unlinking files, in directories that were created tge same way, and $! is set to Permission denied when I do a ls -l in cygwin on the files in question, they are shown as Administrators, Domain, Users, rwxrwxrwx. I am running the program with ActiveState perl however, from a cmd shell, using cygwin environment for editing. Is there an alternative to system("del $filename") I want to stay portable. I can unlink the files from a command line, just not from unlink. Is the directory separator the culprit? The filenames are formed "$path/$name" do I need to switch to a backslash, or to :: ? -- David L Nicol "You don't know how to maintain a station wagon either!" _______________________________________________ kc mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/kc
