Problem with the "-r" test in Perl 5.8.6-4

Hi, I'm having trouble with Perl 5.8.6-4 under Cygwin 1.5.12. Some perl script uses the "-r" test to chech whether a directory is readable. It fails on the following directory: $ perl -e 'exit !(-r $ARGV[0])' /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/ThinkPad/Utilities && echo "yep" $ test -r /cygdrive/c/Pro
