Dear File-Path maintainer(s),
Thank you for providing such a fine module!
I am using Perl on Windows and have a problem with removing files with long
path names with rmtree. The problem is described here:
http://stringstream.blogspot.nl/2014/11/perl-long-paths-issue-in-windows.html
When trying to remove file paths with a name that exceeds the MAX_PATH the
removal fails. Subsequently, the parent directory can obviously not be
removed since it is not empty.
I understand that this is not a File-Path issue per se since the problem
goes all the way down to 'unlink' (and perhaps 'rmdir') of Perl itself.
Apparently, there is a module (
http://search.cpan.org/~rboisvert/Win32-LongPath-1.03/lib/Win32/LongPath.pm)
that offers support for this in the form of 'unlinkL' and 'rmdirL'
functions.
It would be really nice if File-Path could use the functions above on
Windows.
I have attached the relevant Perl/File-Path version information. I am using
(ActiveState) Perl on Windows XP and Windows 7 (but I would like it to work
on any Windows system with XP or later).
Let me know if you require more information.
Regards, Bram
