This isn't a Windows problem, this is a Perl on Windows problem that is
solely in the Perl interpreter or its libraries.
Really? If this problem, which comes up with amazing frequency on all
perl mailing lists, were a problem with the perl interpreter it would
be fixed by now. You clearly do not understand the difference between
Unix file operations and Windows file operations.
If it can be fixed please submit the code to the perl.perl5.porters
mailing list. Otherwise you're just making statements with no
substance.
