Something is wrong with the stat code. I will try to look at it
tonight.
To be more precise, the problem has to be in the perl_cando code.
In file::spec->_tmpdir() the -w test is used to make sure that the
temp directory is writable, and it falls back to "." if it can not
find one of '/tmp', '/sys$scratch', or $ENV{tempdir} as writable.
Thanks. The blead build is currently broken so don't synch first.
Hopefully we'll get it all sorted out soonish.
