in reply to Perl appending \ or / based on windows or linux
I guess this just might be an object-lesson about the perils of jumping too-quickly to "how to do <<this>>" (as though you really were somehow the first person in the universe who needed to overcome a particular problem) ... instead of taking a double-step backward to consider, "what, exactly, is the problem that I am attempting to solve?" We literally jump to the conclusion, specifically the first "conclusion" that comes to our minds, and waste much time because we don't think outside the box.
