Subject: File::Spec::Cygwin docs of file_name_is_absolute()
Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2015 14:32:18 +1000
To: bug-PathTools [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Kevin Ryde <user42_kevin [...] yahoo.com.au>
The pod in File::Spec::Cygwin 3.56_02 says file_name_is_absolute True is returned if the file name begins with "drive_letter:", ... but from the code I take it "drive_letter:/" and "drive_letter:\" are the absolute forms meant there, not anything beginning "drive_letter:". -- The sigfile English idioms series: "When the cat's away the mice will play" -- in the absence of authority there will be wrongdoing.
