Re: (tye)Re: Test to see if directories are the same

I did some limited tests and did note that on RedHat 6.2 I got positive results with symbolic links. I just did a quick check on NT with the base test.
Cwd.pm does run it's own $^O checks, so it may be workable on most cases.

Ah, I guess symbolic links can usually be untangled. It seems there are weird directory structures under Unix that can't reliably be untangled but I don't recall the details (hard links to directories is certainly one but doing those under Unix usually has such bad consequences from fsck that you don't run into it). - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply]
