Hallo George,

       file_name_is_absolute
         Takes as argument a path and returns true if it is an
         absolute path.

             $is_absolute = File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute( $path );

         This does not consult the local filesystem on Unix,
         Win32, OS/2, or Mac OS (Classic).  It does consult the
         working environment for VMS (see "file_name_is_absolute"
         in File::Spec::VMS).

What is the problem here?
We try to emulate a POSIX filesystem with all its advantages.

perl -e 'use File::Spec; $print = File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute("C:/test"); \
if (defined $print) {print "No Bug;)\n"};'

Use ActivePerl if you need windows features.
