    Cwd::getcwd doesn't take arguments, but ::realpath does 

    $ prove t\zzz-spec.t
t\zzz-spec.t .. 1/?
#   Failed test 'path('C:')'
#   at t\zzz-spec.t line 206.
#          got: 'C:/Documents and Settings/username'
#     expected: 'D:/perl/cpan/build/Path-Tiny-0.029-r_iWUJ'
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 91.
t\zzz-spec.t .. Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)

      It probably should have been getdcwd instead of getcwd.

      I believe that's an error on my part - I meant getdcwd but typed getcwd. getdcwd is the (Win32) function that takes a volume letter as argument.

        :) would have been easier to catch if getcwd died with arguments :)
