It is trivial to achieve the equivalent thing. use Cwd qw(abs_path); my $abs_srctree = abs_path($ENV{'srctree'}); I would just print a fixed string, as this is not important. print C_FILE " * Automatically generated by build_OID_registry. Do not edit\n"; OR print C_FILE " * Automatically generated. Do not edit\n"; -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
