NAME
       File::Spec::Cygwin - methods for Cygwin file specs

SYNOPSIS
        require File::Spec::Cygwin; # Done internally by File::Spec if needed

DESCRIPTION
       See File::Spec and File::Spec::Unix.  This package overrides the imple-
       mentation of these methods, not the semantics.

       This module is still in beta.  Cygwin-knowledgeable folks are invited
       to offer patches and suggestions.

       canonpath
           Any "\" (backslashes) are converted to "/" (forward slashes), and
           then File::Spec::Unix canonpath() is called on the result.

       filenameisabsolute
           True is returned if the file name begins with "driveletter:", and
           if not, File::Spec::Unix filenameisabsolute() is called.

       tmpdir (override)
           Returns a string representation of the first existing directory
           from the following list:

               $ENV{TMPDIR}
               /tmp
               C:/temp

           Since Perl 5.8.0, if running under taint mode, and if the environ-
           ment variables are tainted, they are not used.
