Amen, halleluja, preach it brother! Just to repeat: knowing the path separator is almost never useful toward the end of producing portable code. File::Spec most likely does whatever you need without knowing it. And further, even if you wanted to write portable code that way, you couldn't do it: VMS doesn't have the same notion of path separators that Mac and Unix have. You would wind up just reimplementing File::Spec itself. :-) -- Chris Nandor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://osdn.com/
