Re: redirection problem

[Happy-the-monk]

in reply to redirection problem

What can be the reason, that script.pl > output.txt creates empty file output.txt and perl script.pl > output.txt creates output.txt with data produced by script.pl?

Does the execution of the first command produce any errors on STDERR (the cmd/dosbox/shell/terminal)?

What does the first line of script.pl look like?

What kind of a shell/terminal are you using?

No, there are no errors on STDERR:

C:\>type script.pl
#!perl

print 'abc'

C:\>script.pl > noperl.txt

C:\>perl script.pl > perl.txt

C:\>type noperl.txt

C:\>type perl.txt
abc
C:\>assoc .pl
.pl=Perl

C:\>ftype Perl
Perl="C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe" "%1" %*

I use standard Windows console.

Do a  dir scrip*

Also try

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict; use warnings;
use File::Find::Rule;
use Env qw/ @PATH /;
use Data::Dump;
dd( find( 'file', 'name', qr/script/i, 'maxdepth', 1, 'in', \@PATH));
__END__

You mean I have another script with the same name? No, it happens with all scripts I write, there must be some setting in the system or maybe this specific ActivePerl 5.14.2 + Win 7 configuration. Previously on Win XP with ActivePerl 5.12 it was working fine (I'll try to install 5.12 in a moment to check this).
