File::Spec::Cygwin(3)


NAME

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


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
	  C:/temp

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