A bit late answer, :-) but: An excerpt from File-PathConvert-0.9/Makefile.PL: *** THIS MODULE (File::PathConvert) IS DEPRECATED. **** There are several known bugs, and it is not being actively maintained since all functionality is now available in modules (Cwd.pm and File::Spec) bundled in every Perl distribution of recent vintage. This version is provided to fix a few bugs and to get the word out about the deprecation. Please use Cwd::abs_path() instead of File::PathConvert::realpath() and File::Spec methods instead of all other path manipulation functions in this module. If you use setfstype, you probably want to access a File::Spec::Foo module for the appropriate operating system. There is also a version of File::Spec on CPAN for backwards compatability. So I gather you are not going to find a volunteer.
