Why doesn't Perl see my file in the working Windows directory?

Question

I\'m using the current release of Strawberry Perl and Windows Server 2008.

For some reason Perl doesn\'t seem to find files in the current working directory:

<         


        

Answer 1

On the Windows command line, use double quotes around command line arguments that need quoting.

perl -ne "print if (rand() < .01)" train.csv
