Subject: SEE ALSO in docs should mention File::HomeDir and File::HomeDir::Win32
Considering that the Win32 issue for File::HomeDir has been fixed, this module seems redundant. File::HomeDir (and File::HomeDir::Win32) will get the correct home directory. You should at least mention them as alternatives in the documentation.

While I'm not entirely clear on which particular Win32 issue for File::HomeDir was fixed when, I don't think they were fixed at the point when I began to develop the ExtUtils::ModuleMaker utility subroutines that eventually evolved into File::Save::Home. In any event, File::Save:: Home has a number of subroutines which are not redundant because they are not found in File::HomeDir. Show quoted text

Point noted and implemented in v0.07 and later; cf 'SEE ALSO'. Jim Keenan
