Looks promising although I'm not sure that a junction is the same as a symlink. The builtin `readlink` function returns `undef` for each directory entry, junction or otherwise. Anyway, I cannot compile the Win32::Symlink module - MS's cl.exe complains about the identifier W2AHELPER which I cannot find in any of the headers which VC++ express installed.

NTFS supports Hard Links & Junctions and Symbolic Links. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
