Subject: ".." in absolute path from rel2abs
rel2abs returns files with ".." in them. I have a spec that requires paths not to have ".." in them. I am unable to use File::Spec to generate absolute paths. rel2abs("../bar/file","/foo") returns "/foo/../bar/file" rather than "/bar/file".

This is by design. See the note in the docs for canonpath(). If you need to resolve /x/.. sections in paths, have a look at Cwd::abspath(), which will consult the filesystem so it can do it correctly. -Ken
