I was just wondering if a consensus has been reached on the
issue of DOS short/long path names as used in the mp2 tests
(to recall, in some of the tests, one ends up comparing a
short path to a long path name, which fails as a string
comparison, but will pass if one converts them both to, eg,
the long path name). As it doesn't look like File::Spec is
intended to handle this sort of thing, as it involves
interaction with the file system to get the long path name,
there's a few options:
- wait for a wrapper around File::Spec to handle this
sort of thing?
- extend Apache::TestUtil to have a t_canonpath, like the
current t_catfile, which for Win32 uses
Win32::GetLongPathName() to convert to the long path name;
- rather than a t_canonpath and t_catfile (and possibly
other t_* functions as wrappers around File::Spec
functions), use a t_file_cmp() function which just returns
t_cmp for Unix and does the long path name
conversion/comparison for Win32?
