some steps backward? Can this $^O be only some smoke in our eyes? t/01-basic.t .......... 1/78 Can't call method "relative" on an undefined value ...lets start again from this point:

# https://metacpan.org/release/KWILLIAMS/Path-Class-0.37/source/lib/Pa
+th/Class/Entity.pm#L65

sub resolve {
  my $self = shift;
  Carp::croak($! . " $self") unless -e $self;  # No such file or direc
+tory
  my $cleaned = $self->new( scalar Cwd::realpath($self->stringify) );
 
  # realpath() always returns absolute path, kind of annoying
  $cleaned = $cleaned->relative if $self->is_relative;                
+        # line 71 (76 in your modified version)
 
  %$self = %$cleaned;
  return $self;
}

So $cleaned is undefined at line 71 and it should be initialized in the line my $cleaned = $self->new( scalar Cwd::realpath($self->stringify) ); so going backward I'd verify:

• $self->stringify
• Cwd::realpath($self->stringify) ) # first charged in my opinion
• $self->new( scalar Cwd::realpath($self->stringify) );

So, maybe, the problem is not at all with Path::Class nor with (or maybe yes..) with assignement to $0 but within Cwd or File::Spec as they are heavily used in the background.

I mean: I tried to track back Cwd::realpath and this module also use $^O to decide what to do.

I'd also investigate which version of Cwd and File::Spec come with your testing distros of Perl.

As last point (maybe due to a dumb moment): the failing test is the first one: there are 78 tests and I checked them... the first one is.... ok(1) O_O is this one failing?!?
