Hi,
I'm trying to use the File::Spec module to assist with creating scripts
which will work on both linux and windows. I'm hitting a problem when I
try to use the splitpath function. According to the manual, it should
return the list ( $volume, $directories, $filename). However, when I try
this under linux (RHEL4, File::Spec version 0.87):
use File::Spec::Functions qw(:ALL);
($volume,$directories,$filename)=splitpath("T:\subdir\scripts\testscript
.pl");
print "volume=\'".$volume."\' directories=\'".$directories."\'
filename=\'".$filename."\'\n";
exit(0);
it gives:
volume='' directories='' filename='T:subdirscripts estscript.pl'
Under windows (XP pro, active perl 5.8.8, File::Spec version 3.12) the
same code gives:
volume='T:' directories='' filename='subdirscripts estscript.pl'
I've hunted through the perl mailing list archives, and the web in
general, and can't find anything relevant - which leads me to the
assumption that I'm doing something wrong (and probably silly also.)
What would be really useful would be an example of correct usage of the
splitpath function: could someone e provide one (or any other pointer to
what I'm doing wrong)?
Thanks in advance. Apologies if this is an old chestnut.
Peter
