Hi all,

Attached is a patch for Cwd.pm’s
bug at https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=39260 :

[QUOTE]
As can be seen here:

http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/09/msg2204098.html

There's an incompatibility between the XS abs_path() and _perl_abs_path(): if
one references a non-existent filename of an existing directory, then the XS
abs_path will return a correct results and _perl_abs_path will warn and return
nothing. This patch adds a testcase for the problem, and patches Cwd.pm to fix
it.
[/QUOTE]

There is a similar patch provided for the standalone Cwd.pm itself, but it
wasn't applied since its submission in 2008.

Thanks to Jim Keenan for his advice for sending this patch to perlbug.
 
Regards,

	Shlomi Fish
