I may have interpolated incorrectly or too much, from some past discussions. But I think barring any very persuasive arguments to the contrary (that would have to be offered mighty soon, now), that I'll be going with the Filesys::CygwinPaths namespace for this module. I tend not to want to look at Cygwin as an application, but rather I want to look at it like an environment that supports doing things in a certain (POSIX-ish) way. And I have in fact uploaded (not registered the namespace yet of course) already. If you are interested in trying to build and check out the module, Gerrit (or other readers who are Cygwin users, ... who might thereby serve this project [which IS worthy!] as beta testers) then you may get the targzball in the CPAN directory: http://www.cpan.org/modules/by- authors/id/S/SO/SOMIAN/experimental/unregistered/ Thanks for your reply.
