Oh well, good news is good news. > >perl [.lib.File.Spec.t]rel2abs2rel.t > >Can't pipe "[-.user.jpeacock.perlsrc.perl]perl.exe;1 rel2abs2rel80731.pl": no >such file or directory at [.lib.file.spec.t]rel2abs2rel.t line 43. >not ok 4 - canonpath on abs executable ># Failed test ([.lib.file.spec.t]rel2abs2rel.t at line 65) ># got: '' ># expected: 'ok ># ' > The middle error only occurs when running from a >rooted logical.
