Today I noticed that on my Linux work computers running Perl 5.8.5 and
5.8.6, the following produced a listing of the subdirectories of my home
directory:
$ perl -e 'use PDL::AutoLoader; print join " ",
PDL::AutoLoader::expand_path("+~");'
But on my Linux home computer running Perl 5.8.8, it produced no
output. Manually substituting /home/derek for the ~ produced the
desired output. Why would tilde expansion work on one system and not
another? All machines are running PDL 2.4.3. I looked through the "man
perldelta"s and found no incompatibility changes. '$ cd ~' works from
within my bash shell, so I don't think that's an issue. I don't think
it's a PDL issue, but rather think that it has to do with my local
configuration (which isn't tweaked in any way from the stock Mandriva
configuration). Any ideas?
thanks,
Derek
