Subject:

warnings if $ENV{ HOME } is not set

Hi, Re: Line 18 of BaseDir.pm our $xdg_data_home = File::Spec->catdir($ENV{HOME}, qw/.local share/); On Win32 machines where $ENV{ HOME } isn't set, File::BaseDir will make File::Spec generate warnings because it is sending undef to the catdir() function. -Brian

Trying a new app of mine on win32 machines now. IMHO the problem isn't the warning, the problem is that no HOME dir is defined. I'll probably patch BaseDir to find the right dir on win32. Suggestions on how to do this are welcome. Cheers!

FWIW, on my WinXP machine, i can use $ENV{ HOMEDRIVE } . $ENV{ HOMEPATH } to get my home directory. -Brian

Ok, more than a year overdue - my bad. Released 0.03 yesterday, it checks for a few win32 specific env variables to set $HOME. Will close the report once RT sync the new version number.
