ok : I applied this to perl-5.6.2 :
Change 21006 on 2003/09/02 by [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Upgrade to File::Spec 0.85, grabbed from CPAN.
Get t/rel2abs2rel.t from bleadperl, because t/TEST was
unhappy with its unstandard test output.
Remove the old t/lib/filespec.t.
Could you repost the relevant MM_Unix patch ? I'll apply it to blead
as well, unless Schwern objects.
