Yes, that's the point. Smilie Here is a short example of how test.sh behaves differently based on where you are when you enter the command:
Code:
$ cd /tmp
$ cat test.sh
wc file.txt
$ ls
file.txt  test.sh

Code:
$ cd /tmp
$ ./test.sh
19 19 95 file.txt

Code:
$ cd /
$ /tmp/test.sh
wc: file.txt: No such file or directory

Another difference is that if you are in a directory where you do not have write permission (such as root directory), and the script wants to create some files in that directory, it obviously will fail.

Here are two ways to fix the problem:
Code:
$ cat test.sh
cd /tmp
wc file.txt

Code:
$ cat test.sh
wc /tmp/file.txt

NAME
Locale::Codes::LangExt - standard codes for language extension identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangExt; $lext = code2langext('acm'); # $lext gets 'Mesopotamian Arabic' $code = langext2code('Mesopotamian Arabic'); # $code gets 'acm' @codes = all_langext_codes(); @names = all_langext_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangExt" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language extensions, such as those as defined in the IANA language registry. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default IANA language registry codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language extensions. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module. For example, the two are equivalent: $lext = code2langext('acm','alpha'); $lext = code2langext('acm',LOCALE_LANGEXT_ALPHA); The codesets currently supported are: alpha This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from the IANA language registry, such as 'acm' for Mesopotamian Arabic. This is the default code set. ROUTINES
