Doubt it. In line with being case-sensitive yet case-preserving, the system
just remembers the spelling used:
C:\>perl -MCwd -E"chdir 'c:\\WiNdOwS'; say getcwd(); system('cmd')"
c:/WiNdOwS
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
c:\WiNdOwS>exit
C:\>perl -MCwd -E"chdir 'C:\\Windows'; say getcwd();"
C:/Windows
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Windows>exit
Note that File::Spec canonising the drive letter to uppercase is proper.
