This is a standard Perl module, so you should send bug reports to perlbug@perl.org. Run perlbug to help you format the report to them. File/Spec/Unix.pm already has a special case for Cygwin in canonpath, so they may be willing to make another special case for "x:/". Try "/cygdrive/c/test" instead, "C:/test" isn't a POSIX path. By using File/Spec/Win32.pm, you are causing other filename handling to be done incorrectly for Cygwin. -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
