I will fix the absolute path detection in any case, as my wild guess is that it should not work on windows even if separatir is / and it seems that it is easily handled by File::Spec. Otherwise I tend to agree that we should just declare \ paths to be known not to work, until somebody does a patch. And even doing a patch may not be the only condition, as there also would also be a need for somebody taking care that it still works in the future which implies following the development. -- Pat
