43 <h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
44 <p>See <a href="file://C|\msysgit\mingw\html/lib/File/Spec.html">the File::Spec manpage</a> and <a href="file://C|\msysgit\mingw\html/lib/File/Spec/Unix.html">the File::Spec::Unix manpage</a>. This package overrides the
45 implementation of these methods, not the semantics.</p>
46 <p>This module is still in beta. Cygwin-knowledgeable folks are invited
47 to offer patches and suggestions.</p>
48 <dl>
49 <dt><strong><a name="item_canonpath">canonpath</a></strong>
51 <dd>
52 <p>Any <code>\</code> (backslashes) are converted to <code>/</code> (forward slashes),
53 and then File::Spec::Unix <a href="#item_canonpath"><code>canonpath()</code></a> is called on the result.</p>
54 </dd>
55 </li>
56 <dt><strong><a name="item_file_name_is_absolute">file_name_is_absolute</a></strong>
58 <dd>
59 <p>True is returned if the file name begins with <code>drive_letter:</code>,
60 and if not, File::Spec::Unix <a href="#item_file_name_is_absolute"><code>file_name_is_absolute()</code></a> is called.</p>
61 </dd>
62 </li>
63 <dt><strong><a name="item_tmpdir">tmpdir (override)</a></strong>
65 <dd>
66 <p>Returns a string representation of the first existing directory
67 from the following list:</p>
68 </dd>
69 <dd>
70 <pre>
71 $ENV{TMPDIR}
72 /tmp
73 C:/temp</pre>
74 </dd>
75 <dd>
76 <p>Since Perl 5.8.0, if running under taint mode, and if the environment
77 variables are tainted, they are not used.</p>
