+This module is designed to support operations commonly
+performed on file specifications (usually called "file
+names", but not to be confused with the contents of a
+file, or Perl's file handles), such as concatenating
+several directory and file names into a single path, or
+determining whether a path is rooted. It is based on code
+directly taken from MakeMaker 5.17, code written by
+Andreas Koenig, Andy Dougherty, Charles Bailey, Ilya
+Zakharevich, Paul Schinder, and others.
