I want to recognize a uSWin directory type '<JUNCTION>'

If I do a command window 'dir' this entry is not shown.

If I do a command window 'dir /a:d' the entry is shown as: 07/14/2009 12:08 AM <JUNCTION> Documents and Settings [C:\Users]

If I do a perl opendir and iterate, the entry, array file name, is shown as: Documents and Settings

Using file tests -d and -l has not helped me recognize the junction. Is there a way to do so?

env:
This is perl 5, version 18, subversion 4 (v5.18.4) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread
uSWin7pro64

Thank you.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
