in thread create a relative symlink

Yes. In linux, you can easily create one:
ln -s .. parent

If you then move the link somewhere else, e.g. with

mv parent ..

it will now point to its new parent directory.

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

    Yes. In linux,

    Make that any POSIX-compatible system. A limit is the filesystem: The respective native filesystems generally support symlinks, but e.g. FAT does not.
