That's ok! No need to apologise. I was only pointing out what I was misunderstanding :-)
> Ron, would it be ok if you could check the patch to see if it works on > Win32? Thanks heaps in advance. There's one piece missing: You'd need to splitdir/catdir $directories too, otherwise it's left as-is. I have attached a modified patch, and prove-ed it works with r18945 on Win32.
I couldn't get your patch to apply cleanly and so hacked it in by hand. I'm attaching a new patch to this email (which is quite possibly identical to yours) so that you can give it a quick test. If all is happy, then I'll commit the change and close the ticket. Thanks heaps for your help! Paul
