in reply to How to create symlink using Perl?

What part of

The symlink function is unimplemented

do you have problem with?

Symbolic links are not supported by Perl on Windows, because historically, symlinks were not supported by the operating system itself.

NTFS Symbolic Link claims that there is some kind of support, if you are certain that the file system is NTFS and the operating system is Windows Vista or later. I would then just shell out to the mklink program mentioned.
