HAHA! caught in your own web of assumptions! ;)

my client has propriatary technology on Windows which allows applications to run in their own environment space, and without a hard-coded location. for example, alice could have perl 5.004 and 5.6.0 installed on the same machine, and run both versions at the same time without @INC getting confused. also, bob could run 5.6.0 from j:\, while charlie could run from c:\ or from k:\apps, and the scripts would all execute correctly.

so, the path to perl is not the same for all users. it can be found with environment variables, but 1) that won't work on the #! line, and 2) windows doesn't really care anyway.

on unix, yours is generally the method i use. but these scripts are Win32 based, and i believe others have provided me with the portable code i need, and will include everywhere.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
