Re: -w $path Cross Platform Issues

If it's being odd, then just make your own, Here's what I'm thinking of:

sub WriteableDir {
    my $DIR = shift;
    if (open(F,">$DIR/tmp.file") ) {
        close(F);
        unlink("$DIR/tmp.file");
        return 1;
    }else{
        return 0;
    }
}

Technically, it looks feasible. But there might be some issues. Specifically, I suspect that if the "end users" are Joe Bagadonuts and Sally Soccermom that their (firewalls\|A/V packages\|observational skills) will complain rather vehemently, unless bkembree manages to convince them in advance that he's not passing malware.
