NAME
File::Spec::Cygwin - methods for Cygwin file specs

CONTENTS

SYNOPSIS

 


 require File::Spec::Cygwin; # Done internally by File::Spec if needed

DESCRIPTION
See File::Spec and File::Spec::Unix. This package overrides the implementation of these methods, not the semantics.

This module is still in beta. Cygwin-knowledgeable folks are invited to offer patches and suggestions.
canonpath Any \ (backslashes) are converted to / (forward slashes), and then File::Spec::Unix canonpath() is called on the result.
file_name_is_absolute True is returned if the file name begins with drive_letter:, and if not, File::Spec::Unix file_name_is_absolute() is called.
tmpdir (override) Returns a string representation of the first existing directory from the following list: 



    $ENV{TMPDIR}
    /tmp
    $ENV{’TMP’}
    $ENV{’TEMP’}
    C:/temp

Since Perl 5.8.0, if running under taint mode, and if the environment variables are tainted, they are not used.

case_tolerant Override Unix. Cygwin case-tolerance depends on managed mount settings and as with MsWin32 on GetVolumeInformation() $ouFsFlags == FS_CASE_SENSITIVE, indicating the case significance when comparing file specifications. Default: 1
