I find it strange, though, that File::Spec doesn't take care of this. after all, isn't File::Spec supposed to be used for exactly this reason? if I need to use Apache::TestUtil::t_catfile for tests in cross-platform CPAN modules then what's the point of File::Spec::catfile? not to increase your workload, but maybe File::Spec should be patched to account for the win32 differences for the greater good, rather than working around what appears to me to be a bug. --Geoff --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
