Subject: File::Spec::Unix->catdir("/", "home") returns "//home"
File::Spec::Unix->catdir("/", "home") returns "//home" instead of "/home". Suggest this change: sub catdir { my $self = shift; my(@dirs) = @_; map(s,/+$,,, @dirs); $self->canonpath(join('/', @dirs, '')); # '' because need a trailing '/' }

I cannot reproduce this problem. $ perl -MFile::Spec -E 'say File::Spec::Unix->catdir("/", "home");' /home $ perl -v This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 0 (v5.14.0) built for i686-linux Same result (i.e., no bug) on Darwin with Perl 5.14.2. Thank you very much. Jim Keenan
Presumably the bug has been fixed since I first reported it OVER FOUR YEARS AGO.
