Warning: date(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected the timezone 'UTC' for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone. in /home/santanaservices/public_html/techiwarehouse.com/cms/engine.php on line 37

Paths in Perl

Different Operating Systems use different characters as their path separator when specifying directory and file paths:

foo/bar/baz # *nix uses a /
foobarbaz # Win32 uses a
foo:bar:baz # Mac OS 9 uses a :
foo/bar/baz # Mac OS X uses a / (usually!)

In Perl you can generally just use a / as your path separator (except on Mac OS 9, thanks Hanamaki). Why? Because Perl will automagically convert the / to the correct path separator for the system it is running on! This means that coding Windows paths like this

$path = "foobarbaz";

is not required. You can just use this:

$path = "/foo/bar/baz";

and things will be fine. In fact using can be problematic, but you probably already know that :-)
