Hi, while I updated the Debian package for Audio::Nama, I noticed that the expand_tilde function in Audio::Nama::Assign makes wrong assumptions about the location of home directories. They are not required to be named /home/$user, but may be located anywhere. Please use getpwnam or File::HomeDir to locate the home directory instead. Regards, Ansgar

Ansgar, Thank you for this report! For Linux and OSX, I find that $HOME (or $ENV{HOME} ) provides this information. Is there any reason to prefer getpwnam or File::HomeDir for Unixlike platforms? Regards, Joel Show quoted text
