1 | Some issues left to take care of: |
2 | |
3 | o sane ~ handling on non-Unix platforms |
4 | |
5 | Currently on non-Unix, when the glob code encounters a tilde glob |
6 | (.e.g ~user/foo or ~/.cshrc), it simply returns that pattern |
7 | without doing any expansion (meaning perl will weed it out since a |
8 | file of that name isn't likely to exist). |
9 | |
10 | Please, if you have strong feelings about how tilde expansion |
11 | should be done on your favorite non-Unix platform(s), submit a |
12 | patch. |
13 | |
14 | o path separator handling |
15 | |
16 | Guido's code contains the assumption that the path separator is one |
17 | character (byte, probably) in length. Win32 doesn't object to the |
18 | true slash as a separator. I imagine MacPerl could change the SEP |
19 | cpp #define to ":". I have no idea what it is for VMS. Again, if |
20 | you have ideas and especially patches, please feel free to share |
21 | them. |
