here's another little tidbit

the following shell command, taken from the perl5 Configure script,
yields some pretty 'interesting' output.

bash$ echo "#include <stdlib.h>" | gcc -E - 2>/dev/null | grep stdlib

Configure uses this output to determine if the supplied header is found
or not. what comes back in the third field of each line of output is a
path to the header, but the path contains a mixed bad of delimeters '/'
vs `\`. I think Configure deals with it but was not sure it was as
intended so thought it worth a post.
