Subject: catpath on Win32 does not return correct DOS path delimiters
File::Spec::Win32->catpath('D:\', 'application/logs') returns 'D:\\application/logs/' instead of 'D:\\application\\logs'. The results may work fine when used in Perl, but should be done right so they can be pushed right out when a DOS path is expected. The current work around is to call it within canonpath(): canonpath(catpath('D:\', 'application/logs')) Documentation isn't clear on this behavior. broken since File::Spec::Win32 v1.5

I'm inclined to leave this the way it is, since it's been working this way for so long. For a better solution you might be interested in Path::Class, though. -Ken
