Statis...:Win32(3pm)

💖 Statistics::R::Win32 — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this is Statistics::R::Win32, a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation. She's a helper module. She's small. She's iconic. Let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

Statistics::R::Win32 — helper functions for Statistics::R on MS Windows platforms 🪟

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

🛑 Do not use this module directly. Use Statistics::R instead. periodt.

She's the backstage crew, not the main character. Her whole job is helping out with environment variables and escaping file paths on MS Windows platforms. That's it. That's the vibe. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

so this is literally how you'd load her, and no, you don't do it by hand — the OS check does it for you:

if ( $^O =~ m/^(?:.*?win32|dos)$/i ) {
   require Statistics::R::Win32;
}

like, if your OS string matches ^(?:.*?win32|dos)$ (case-insensitive, hence the /i), she shows up. 🌈

---

👑 METHODS 👑

🌟 win32_path_adjust( )

She goes looking for places where R might be installed — think C:\Program Files (x86)\R-2.1\bin type energy — and then she adds that path to the PATH environment variable. lowkey doing the most so you don't have to. 🫶

🌟 win32_space_quote( )

Takes a path and hands you back a path surrounded by double-quotes — but only if that path contains whitespaces. Example time, bestie:

this:

C:\Program Files\R\bin\x64

becomes this:

"C:\Program Files\R\bin\x64"

ate. ✨

🌟 win32_space_escape( )

Takes a path and hands you back a path where the spaces have been escaped with a backslash. (The original notes it "contains whitespaces" — same deal as above, spaces are the whole point.) Example:

this:

C:\Program Files\R\bin\x64

becomes this:

C:\Program\ Files\R\bin\x64

not the backslash doing the heavy lifting 😭💅

🌟 win32_double_bs

Takes a path and hands you back a path where each backslash got replaced by two backslashes. Double it and give it to the next person. Example:

this:

C:\Program Files\R\bin\x64

becomes this:

C:\\Program Files\\R\\bin\\x64

fr fr, that's a lot of backslashes. 🔥
