Subject: Mixing of forward and back slashes in paths?
I recently was looking into a CPAN tester report
P-1.1.24:
- MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-64int / 5.20.2:
- FAIL
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/bc273757-6c01-1014-a765-afcf632b568brt
You mean:
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/bc273757-6c01-1014-a765-afcf632b568b
The last win32 version I'd tested with was a bit ago
@ in 5.14 and it didn't have this problem.
Sorry - I couldn't work out what it is that you're asking about.
And I couldn't spot anything in the testers report that indicates any
problem with any of the paths.
Both "\" and "/" are acceptable (and essentially equivalent) where used
(AFAICS).
If you do:
$test = "C:\this";
what do you expect to be output by:
printf "%s\n", $test;
And if you do:
$^X = "C:\Strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe";
what do you expect to be output by:
printf "5.20 path for perl: $^X???\n";
Cheers,
Rob
