What about this:
$ perl -e 'use Cwd "realpath"; (-e "/does/not/exist") ? print
realpath("/does/not/exist") : print "/does/not/exist"; print "\n"'
/does/not/exist
$ readlink --canonicalize-missing /does/not/exist
/does/not/exist
$ ll /tmp/xxx
lrwxrwxrwx 1 albinus smc3 13 08-14 09:20 /tmp/xxx -> /home/albinus/
perl -e 'use Cwd "realpath"; (-e "/tmp/xxx") ? print realpath("/tmp/xxx") :
print "/tmp/xxx"; print "\n"'
/home/albinus
$ readlink --canonicalize-missing /tmp/xxx
/home/albinus
Best regards, Michael.
