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
$ENV{'TMP'}
$ENV{'TEMP'}
C:/temp
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
