#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

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
