I have fixed the bug in my copy by changing the implementation of File::Spec::Unix->file_name_is_absolute to check whether $^O is cygwin and use the rule from Win32.pm. There are other places in the file where such conditionals occur.
As to one of the previous replies saying to use ActivePerl on Windows, that is not helpful at all. ActivePerl won't understand /cygdrive/c notation, which makes it hard to have a cygwin installation working with ActivePerl. So far I noticed that the C:/Test notation is understood by everybody (cygwin, Windows tools) so it seems like a good middle ground. George. > -----Original Message----- > From: Gerrit P.
