The POD is wrong at worst and misleading at best:

use lib 'd:\\foo\\bar';
use Baz;
__END__
in Baz! at d:\foo\bar/Baz.pm line 3.
Compilation failed in require at c:\temp\tlib.pl line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at c:\temp\tlib.pl line 2.
[download]

#D:\foo\bar\baz.pm
package Baz;

die "in Baz!";
[download]

And its pretty damn stupid. How on earth to you convert a D:\foo or a \\machine\share to a "unix convention"? And is it reasonable to expect every Perl programmer to be familiar with Unix conventions?

Unix bigotry in perl really annoys me. The p5p mob should know better.
