Hello,

I have a problem using the Perl-integrated Cygwin path conversion methods. 
Below is my Perl bug report (#132443) created via perlbug for details. They suggested to file a bug against the XML::DOM module. But since it is a Cygwin-specific problem, I thought it is better to ask on the mailing list first.

Thanks,
Lando

This is a bug report for perl from ln AT h0x DOT de,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.40 running under perl 5.26.1.

The Perl-integrated conversion function for Cygwin paths Cygwin::win_to_posix_path() is broken.
Tested with a path read from a XML file using XML::DOM, its output is faulty.
Depending on the setting, its output is empty, garbage or aborts with 'Out of memory'.
Most likely, there are some memory allocation issues.

To reproduce, please call script 'test.pl' with attached XML file 'test.xml' as argument.
Depending on used path to file (relative or absolute, Windows or POSIX style etc.), different types of failure appear.

+++ test.pl +++
#!/usr/bin/env perl

use XML::DOM;

print 'XML FILE (argument):>' . $ARGV[0] . "<\n";
my $xml_path = Cygwin::win_to_posix_path($ARGV[0]);
print 'XML FILE (converted):>' . $xml_path . "<\n";

my $parser = new XML::DOM::Parser();
my $dom_tree = $parser->parsefile($xml_path);
my $attr_path = $dom_tree->getDocumentElement()->getAttribute('attr');
print 'PATH FROM ATTRIBUTE:>' . $attr_path . "<\n";

my $win_attr_path = Cygwin::win_to_posix_path($attr_path);
print 'PATH FROM ATTRIBUTE (converted):>' . $win_attr_path . "<\n";

+++ test.xml +++
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Test attr="C:\Cygwin\usr\bin\ls.exe"></Test>

Please note that in my tests, only the path read from the XML is affected. Direct output of this
file before (broken) conversion shows no abnormality though. Therefore I am not sure if this bug
originates in Perl core or XML::DOM module.---
