Hello all,
I have finished writing up a neat Perl server which works
just fine on Linux. I want to see it work seamlessly on
other platforms too (Windows/*Nix)
The first issue that I see, is with people who want to use
my server on Windows. Directory seperators ('/' -> '\\')
have to be changed before the script can be run on Win32.
Or atleast I think that is the case.
From past experience, I know that several perl modules
come with a Makefile.PL or atleast some way whereby the
user can:
1. Unpack the code delivered
2. Specify his platform and execute some script
3. The script preps the code for the platform
3. User can now use the customized application
I have no idea how to go about doing this! Any pointers
or resources would be helpful.
The second issue,
How do I keep pathnames platform independant. This
precludes the necessity of writing a solution to
install the application on the users machine. Please
note that the application accepts some pathnames as
command-line parameters.
Thank you for your time and attention...
