Changes for version 3.21 - 2006-10-04

  • Added a bunch of X<> tags to the File::Spec docs to help podindex. [Gabor Szabo]
  • On Win32, abs2rel('C:\one\two\t\foo', 't\bar') should return '..\foo' when the cwd is 'C:\one\two', but it wasn't noticing that the two relevant volumes were the same so it would return the full path 'C:\one\two\t\foo'. This is fixed. [Spotted by Alexandr Ciornii]
  • On Win32, rel2abs() now always adds a volume (drive letter) if the given path doesn't have a volume (drive letter or UNC volume). Previously it could return a value that didn't have a volume if the input was a semi-absolute path like /foo/bar instead of a fully-absolute path like C:/foo/bar .
