1) As far as I know, you need to use "double quotes" rather than 'single
quotes' in Win95/98/NT/2000 -- single quotes work fine under Unix shells but
not under cmd.exe/command.com.
2) Unix shells expand wildcards such as *.htm; DOS does not. One way to get
expansion is to use Jenda's G module, available e.g. from
http://jenda.mccann.cz/#G or with PPM (location
http://Jenda.McCann.cz/perl). Add "-MG" without the quotes to the
environment variable PERL5OPT and you can use *.htm.
3) (minor nitpick) it's usually called a "one-liner", rather than "single
liner".
Cheers,
Philip
