Good idea.
I just just added that.  However, I don't have a Windows machine to try it
on.

Please try it and tell me if it works.

If you get an error saying "OS not recognized...", then please run the
script 'print "$^O\n"' on your Windows box and send me the output.

Cheers,
Daniel.



ok.  I tried the following code:

#d:\perl\bin\perl.exe -w

my $path = `cd`;
print $path



And that works, so I would assume your script will work when the reviously 
mentioned error is corrected.  :-)
