I am very confused about the correct manner of defining directory paths under
cygwin, perl, and bash. I cannot determine the correct manner. Using the
cygwin window, I navigate to locations using
cd /cygdrive/c/subdir
Using a bash shell to run a perl process under the shell and passing in a
directory, I must use a windows-style specification with *nix forward
slashes
If you're using Cygwin's Perl, then you don't need to worry about
windows-style paths. If you must, for some reason, use the Windows-native
Perl, then check out 'man cygpath'. It will handle the file path
conversions for you so you can stick with POSIX paths when you type.
