If the original path started out with ../, program will die too soon for no good reason. In this case, ../ should be preserved.

Yup, good point. And the best way to fix it would be to "use Cwd", which makes all that code unnecessary anyway: `#!/usr/bin/perl use Cwd qw/abs_path/; print abs_path( $_ ) for ( @ARGV );` [download] That prints an empty string (no error message) whenever any non-final path component is non-existent or unreadable (due to permissions).
