note Corion <p>Just yesterday, I investigated that in relation to generating a warning on Windows when a module is loaded with the "wrong" case, like <c>use Strict;</c>. I found [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/74451/getting-actual-file-name-with-proper-casing-on-windows|this (C++) post], which seems to be fairly OK. It does not do an extra <c>stat()</c> call per file, but a call to <c>SHGetFileInfoW</c>. I don't know if that's horribly slow or not.</p> <p>The linked subroutine tries to verify <i>all</i> parts of the path, while at least Perl would only be interested in the last part(s) of the name.</p> 997801 997801
