Technically, ".." is a hard link. But in general, no. `$ touch foo $ ln foo bar $ perl -MTest::More=no_plan -MCwd=realpath -e ' is(realpath($ARGV[0]), realpath($ARGV[1])) ' foo bar not ok 1 # Failed test at -e line 2. # got: '/home/eric/foo' # expected: '/home/eric/bar' 1..1 # Looks like you failed 1 test of 1.` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

$ perl -MTest::More=no_plan -MCwd=realpath -e '
     is(realpath($ARGV[0]), realpath($ARGV[1]))
  ' foo bar
not ok 1
