From: gmarzot@baynetworks.com (Joe Marzot) Subject: dos file names (what should I do) 31 Jan 1997 19:35:39 -0800 Approved: cygnus.gnu-win32@cygnus.com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: Posted-Date: Fri, 31 Jan 1997 13:55:14 -0800 (PST) Original-To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com X-Mailer: Gnus v5.2.2/Emacs 19.31 Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32@cygnus.com Not sure where my problem lies. Having successfully compiled perl5 and happily watching as many of my scripts port with no effort at all, I do get this one problem with support for dos file name args passed to scripts. running in dos prompt D:> perl myscript.pl -f c:\dos\file1.txt -o d:\dos\file2.txt of course this does not work but neither does using things like //d/dos/file2.txt(which may be perls problem). I should probably know this but does cygwin deal with both native dos paths interchangeable w/ the unix ones (any hope there). what are others doing? Thanks in advance. -GSM -- G. S.
