Subject: Use of File::Spec::Unix means it doesn't work for Windows
This bug occurred while trying to install Dist::Metadata on my Windows PC. That modules calls `Module::Metadata->package_versions_from_directory`. The problem occurs because the files passed to it have paths like: 'C:\\Users\\StevenL\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\NmFm5q1GLX\\lib\\Bunnies.pm'. Because it uses File::Spec::Unix->abs2rel, the path comes out as '..\\C:\\Users\\StevenL\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\NmFm5q1GLX\\lib\\Bunnies.pm'. Changing that to File::Spec->abs2rel results in the correct output: 'lib\\Bunnies.pm'.

I'd like to update Dist::Metadata to use the provides() method but it's somewhat broken (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=92640).

The change to File::Spec::Unix was made to fix https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65540, so whatever we do we need to not re-introduce that bug.
