| 01:08.01 | Zelut | Tene: continued troubleshooting has proven that it is _not_ translating the ~. Any tips on how to translate that? |
| 01:08.29 | Tene | look for the glob functions |

| 01:12.19 | harleypig | Zelut: perldoc perlfaq5 How can I translate tildes (~) in a filename? |
| 01:12.31 | Zelut | harleypig: thanks |
| 01:13.23 | Zelut | harleypig: looks like that points to Tene's suggestion re: glob too. |
| 01:13.27 | harleypig | :] |
| 01:13.46 | harleypig | You might also check out File::HomeDir and File::Path::Expand |
| 01:14.01 | Zelut | how is someone supposed to know that all these modules exist? |
| 01:14.03 | harleypig | I haven't used them in a while. |
| 01:14.14 | harleypig | Zelut: kobesearch.cpan.org :] |
| 01:14.34 | harleypig | http://www.perlmonks.org |
| 01:14.38 | brac | [PerlMonks - The Monastery Gates] |
| 01:14.49 | Zelut | I guess I wouldn't even know what to search for.. seems you have to know a module exists in order to search for it. |
| 01:14.56 | Tene | Zelut: the traditional advice is that you presume your problem is already solved and available on cpan until you know otherwise. |
| 01:15.09 | harleypig | search for expand tilde |
| 01:15.38 | harleypig | hmmm ... that doesn't show anything in kobesearch |
| 01:16.17 | Tene | ~ is part of the shell's globbing, along with *, ?, {}, etc. |
| 01:16.25 | harleypig | Zelut: yeah, you have to guess at a pretty wide range of synonyms for what you're trying to do. |
| 01:16.50 | Zelut | Tene: I assumed it was working before but then I realized that it was working within ``, which was being handled by the shell. |
| 01:18.09 | harleypig | :> that's one way to handle it ... $home = `echo -n ~` |
| 01:18.12 | harleypig | but don't do that. |
| 01:18.20 | Zelut | yeah, thats cheating |
| 01:18.36 | harleypig | There *is* no cheating in perl. |
| 01:19.25 | harleypig | If it can be done then it works. |
| 01:19.46 | harleypig | Of course, that's just taking an amoral attitude towards programming ... :] |
| 01:22.52 | Zelut | well this is ugly but it works: =~ s{^~([^/]*)}{$1?(getpwnam($1))[7] : ( $ENV{HOME} || $ENV{LOGDIR} )}ex; |
| 01:23.10 | Zelut | and, yes, I copied that from the faq. it would have taken me 10yrs to come up with that on my own. |
| 01:28.36 | Zelut | looks like File::Glob will be cleaner |
| 01:31.15 | harleypig | That's why modules are so cool! :] |
| 01:31.39 | Zelut | use File::Glob ':globally'; my @sources = <~gnat/*>; |
| 01:32.13 | Zelut | so if I use File::Glob I can then refer to files/paths within < > and everyone is happy? |
| 01:34.03 | Zelut | not sure how to convert $autolog_path to File::Glob format to be used with open() |
| 01:36.12 | harleypig | <$autolog_path> i believe |
| 01:37.01 | Zelut | Use of uninitialized value $autolog_path in concatenation (.) or string at (eval 73) line 57. |
| 01:37.52 | Zelut | I have use File::Glob; and then $autolog_path = <$autolog_path>; ....? |
