in reply to FindBin works differently on Fedora Core 2?

FindBin uses Cwd::abspath, which has different implemetations (i.e. _perl_abs_path or an XS implementation). You can check by using

perl -MCwd -e 'warn \&Cwd::abs_path == \&Cwd::_perl_abs_path'

    Another fine idea, but both these systems are using the XS version according to your test.

      And the XS code has also different paths, depending if your system supports fchdir or not. Can you check in the debugger whether it is actually abs_path which gives different results?

        They give the same results, both appear to strip trailing spaces:

        Fedora1: 

          $ perl5.8.3 -MCwd=abs_path -e 'print abs_path("/tmp/")'
  /tmp

        [download]

        Fedora2: 

          $ perl5.8.3 -MCwd=abs_path -e 'print abs_path("/tmp/")'
  /tmp

        [download]

        -sam
