Hi,
Can anyone make sense of this:
D:\math-mpfr\build58\cpan>type try.pl
use warnings;
if(system("rmdir /S /Q Math-MPFR-1.07\\t")) {die "Failure"}
D:\math-mpfr\build58\cpan>perl try.pl
rmdir: `/S': No such file or directory
rmdir: `/Q': No such file or directory
rmdir: `Math-MPFR-1.07\\t': Directory not empty
Failure at try.pl line 3.

Aaah ... I've just now found a solution. If I change 'rmdir' to 'rd' it
works fine - but I'll send this post anyway ... it might save someone else
some agony. And I'm still completely in the dark as regards what's going on
... any explanations gratefully received.
Do you by chance have a unix-ish rmdir() in your PATH (eg,
from cygwin) that may be getting picked up?
