This is a standard Perl module, so you should send bug reports to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Run perlbug to help you format the report to them.
File/Spec/Unix.pm already has a special case for Cygwin in canonpath, so
they may be willing to make another special case for "x:/".
Try "/cygdrive/c/test" instead, "C:/test" isn't a POSIX path.
By using File/Spec/Win32.pm, you are causing other filename handling to be
done incorrectly for Cygwin.
