Re: [MacPerl] Porting File::PathConvert



|And any suggestions for converting paths to a minimal canonical
|form. For instance, under Unix-lie filesystems, '/name/..'
|and '/////' are both removed.

That isn't correct behavior for /name/.., because if name is a symlink,
/name/.. may not be /.

The reason I mention this on the MacPerl list is because I suspect
(although I haven't tried it) aliases present the same problem.
