- Hello Perl Netland,
-
- I am trying to implement the mirror suite of PERL scripts using PERL 4.0
- rev 4.0.1.4 under SCO ODT 2.0.
-
- The mirror.pl script breaks with the following error:
-
- Unimplemented directory operation at ./mirror.pl line 1077
-
- The offending chunk of code looks like:
-
- if( !opendir( dir, $dir ) ){
- print "Cannot open local directory $dir, skipping it\n";
- next;
- }
-
- The value of $dir at this point is "." .
-
- I've created small test scripts that duplicate this routine and they execute
- without complaint.
-
- I am at a loss as to what to try next. Does anyone have any suggestions
- or hints for this PERL programming newbie.
-
- Please e-mail your replies. If the answers are in demand by others, I will
- summarize to the net.
-
- Thank you in advance.
