Subject: cwd.t fails for pathologically named file.
Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2011 02:41:13 +0100
To: bug-PathTools [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Alexander Haeckel <alexanderhaeckel [...] lavabit.com>
Hi, I had a file named "root^J" in my "/" directory where the filename ended with a newline on a AMD64/Debian Lenny box. This strange file turned out to be the "AMD Power Monitor Setting File". Don't remember how I got that thing but it brought me this crash: t/cwd.t ................. 1/34 # Failed test (t/cwd.t at line 247) # got: '/root' # expected: '/root # ' # Failed test (t/cwd.t at line 248) # got: '/root' # expected: '/root # ' # Looks like you failed 2 tests of 34. I resolved the matter by simply renaming the file, but I would recommend to filter out such pathologically named files before calling Cwd::fast_abs_path($file) or Cwd::fast_abs_path($file) at least in t/cwd.t .

I can't tell from your report which were the two tests that failed. Would it be possible for you to simulate the original problematic file by testing the Perl 5 blead (which contains what is now dist/Cwd/t/cwd.t)? Thank you very much. Jim Keenan
