I'm new to this List,
Please be friendly when I violate some rules.
I've been working on a small project where we had to convert the friendly /
to the stupid ms dos \ thingy.
Initially for an older oro build (I'm not sure which) this worked allthough
I took the sharp (#) instead of the pipe (|).
So the expression was something like perl5.substitute("s#/#\\#g",
someString). After installing a new oro jar, and enjoying the new features
I found this didn't work anymore, not a very big deal because it's not
valid in perl56 I found out. So I changed the sharp to the pipe
having "s|/|\\|g" which should be valid in perl56 but somehow didn't get
through the parser: it simply didn't match. I changed the escaped backslash
\\ to a double escaped backslash \\\\ and everything worked fine again.
But this looks like a bug to me, because perl56 does accept "s|/|\|g" am I
correct? I tried to look it up in the bug parade but I couldn't find
anything.
