Listers, I've run into what I would consider a bug. Let me know if this is the way it should work. I've created a script which recurses through the directory dropped onto the droplet. After trying to find the bug in my code that wouldn't allow a full volume to work, I found the problem -- with the following code, a dropped directory/folder will return "volume:path1:path2" (note NO ending ":" which I've been adding) but dropping a volume on the droplet retrns "volume:" (note ending in ":") die ("Please drop a directory on this file.\n") unless (@ARGV[0]); $dir = @ARGV[0]; print "open dir = $dir\n"; Am I missing something? If this is in fact a bug, could someone check other versions of Perl to see if it exists there as well and notify the appropriate authors.
