Changes for version 2.18 - 2004-06-24
- Fixed a problem in which abs_path($arg) on some platforms could only be called on directories, and died when called on files. This was a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path().
- Fixed fast_abs_path($arg) in the same way as abs_path($arg) above.
- On Win32, a function getdcwd($vol) has been added, which gets the current working directory of the specified drive/volume.
- Steve Hay
- Fixed a problem on perl 5.6.2 when built with the MULTIPLICITY compile-time flags. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes]
- When looking for a `pwd` system command, we no longer assume the path separator is ':'.
- On platforms where cwd() is implemented internally (like Win32), don't look for a `pwd` command externally. This can greatly speed up load time. [Stefan Scherer]
- The pure-perl version of abs_path() now has the same prototype as the XS version (;$).
