Re^6: Open txt file using default program on Windows

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

I know. It's in the Perl script named perlbug, not in the man page perldoc perlbug. I already acknowledged this. If one posts a very laconic response to another post on PerlMonks, especially a non sequitur, one is more apt to cause needless confusion than to make a helpful point. To me, the instruction to "See perlbug" meant to type `perldoc perlbug` at the command prompt, which is what I did. I was confused by what I'd been told to do.	[reply] [d/l]
