Hmm. In this case does perl's -l think that a junction point is corrently a soft link or not? We have a check based on that in pg_basebackup's test and -l fails when it sees to a junction point, forcing us to skip this test. > From src/bin/pg_dump/t/010_dump_connstr.pl: > > if ($^O eq 'msys' && `uname -or` =~ /^[2-9].*Msys/) Smart. This could become a central variable in TestLib.pm. -- Michael
