Perl V4.036 on Solaris 2.3 Shell escapes do not work
: I am using perl 4.036 on a Solaris 2.3 machine.
: the following command leaves $cwd empty
:
: $cwd = `pwd`;
:
: Any suggetstions???
The only thing I can think is that you perl is nor correctly
compiled. Did you execute an 'make test' ?
Or... Could you be using a bin from SunOS 4.x ??? I don't know if this
will produce this error, but with Sun I can expect everything
I just tested:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl4.036
$cwd=`pwd`;
print $cwd,"\n";
On my 2.3 machine and it worked ok.
