Post #46,997 by ben_tilly 7/26/02 8:08:22 AM Reply	Two solutions Recent versions of Perl know to ignore the \\r's. The problem is that the shell will look for /usr/bin/perl\\r and not find it. One solution is therefore to make /usr/bin/perl\\r a symbolic link to /usr/bin/perl. Another is to tell them to always use -w to turn on warnings. Cheers, Ben "...

Post #47,039 by tjsinclair 7/26/02 11:06:44 AM Reply	Little more detail, please is \\r a command line switch? So, if I do ln -s /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl\\r that might take care of it automagically? What about non-DOS text scripts? Tom Sinclair "Subverting Young Minds Since 03/13/2000"
Post #47,197 by ben_tilly 7/27/02 2:54:47 PM Reply	Well... I just tried it, and \\r didn't seem to be liked by the shell. But you can do: `perl -e 'symlink("/usr/bin/perl", "/usr/bin/perl\\r")'` And then the bad scripts should work just fine. Cheers, Ben "...
