    # As we mentioned earlier, exec treats a discrete list of arguments as an
    # indication that it should bypass shell processing. However, there is one
    # place where you might still get tripped up. The exec call (and system, too)

    #         or die "exec: $!";      #   because @args == 1
    #
    # To avoid this, you can use the PATHNAME syntax, explicitly duplicating the
    # first argument as the pathname, which forces the rest of the arguments to be
    # interpreted as a list, even if there is only one of them:
    #

# 2010-01-26 The difference of "return;" and "return undef;"
# http://d.hatena.ne.jp/gfx/20100126/1264474754
#
# "Perl Best Practices" recommends to use "return;"*1 to return nothing, but
# it might be wrong in some cases. If you use this idiom for those functions
# which are expected to return a scalar value, e.g. searching functions, the
# user of those functions will be surprised at what they return in list
# context, an empty list - note that many functions and all the methods
# evaluate their arguments in list context. You'd better to use "return undef;"
# for such scalar functions.
#
#     sub search_something {
#         my($arg) = @_;
#         # search_something...
#         if(defined $found){
#             return $found;
#         }
#         return; # XXX: you'd better to "return undef;"
#     }
#
#     # ...
#
#     # you'll get what you want, but ...
#     my $something = search_something($source);
#
#     # you won't get what you want here.
#     # @_ for doit() is (-foo => $opt), not (undef, -foo => $opt).
#     $obj->doit(search_something($source), -option=> $optval);
#
#     # you have to use the "scalar" operator in such a case.
#     $obj->doit(scalar search_something($source), ...);
#
# *1: it returns an empty list in list context, or returns undef in scalar
#     context
#
# (and so on)

# COMMAND.COM's unhelpful tips:
# Displays a list of files and subdirectories in a directory.
# http://www.lagmonster.org/docs/DOS7/z-dir.html
#
# Syntax:
#
#   DIR [drive:] [path] [filename] [/Switches]
#
#   /Z Long file names are not displayed in the file listing
#
#  Limitations
#   The undocumented /Z switch (no long names) would appear to
#   have been not fully developed and has a couple of problems:
#
#  1. It will only work if:
#   There is no path specified (ie. for the current directory in
#   the current drive)
#   The path is specified as the root directory of any drive
#   (eg. C:\, D:\, etc.)
#   The path is specified as the current directory of any drive
#   by using the drive letter only (eg. C:, D:, etc.)
#   The path is specified as the parent directory using the ..
#   notation (eg. DIR .. /Z)
#   Any other syntax results in a "File Not Found" error message.
#
#  2. The /Z switch is compatable with the /S switch to show
#   subdirectories (as long as the above rules are followed) and
#   all the files are shown with short names only. The
#   subdirectories are also shown with short names only. However,
#   the header for each subdirectory after the first level gives
#   the subdirectory's long name.
#
#  3. The /Z switch is also compatable with the /B switch to give
#   a simple list of files with short names only. When used with
#   the /S switch as well, all files are listed with their full
#   paths. The file names themselves are all in short form, and
#   the path of those files in the current directory are in short
#   form, but the paths of any files in subdirectories are in
#   long filename form.
