Subject: realpath
It'd be nice if Path::Class provides an equivalent of Cwd::abs_path (or PHP's realpath(), for name comparison) to make path absolute as well as cleanup path and resolve all symbolic links. This is sometimes useful for file checking. Currently absolute() doesn't even canonicalize stuff like /foo/../bar into /bar.

I agree, that would be nice. I'll put it in the next release. The reason absolute() and cleanup() don't handle physical cleanup (only logical cleanup) is that they don't even assume the path exists on the disk. And /foo/../bar doesn't always necessarily map to /bar, namely when /foo is a symbolic link. -Ken
