However, MacOS 9 and below uses colons! And the semantics are rather different, e.g. relative vs. absolute paths and up-dir syntax (the equivalent of unix's ".."). And even on some other "slash-based" OSes, the syntax rules deviate enough from unix to cause problems. The correct solution is File::Spec, as Jerrad suggested. It might look like a pain to use, but it's really not that bad. -- Jeremy _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
