I know the unix path separator char is a / character, and I know that most Mac apps use : as the separator, but what I'd like to know is to find the ABSOLUTE correct path separator.. it ain't a must.. but I really want a "it is this" as opposed to a "I think it's this".. I think you get the idea.. What is the path separator character in MacPerl? (I finally got my FIRST script to work right.. and now I *LOVE* Perl) Thanks, Mathias! -T- timjudd@teleport.com HTTP://www.teleport.com/~timjudd/ IRC nick: StayPuft *NO* chain letters of any kind!
