This is a bug report for perl from schwern@windhund.schwern.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.6.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

  use File::Basename;

  print dirname "/var/local/";

I would expect "/var/local/".  Instead you get "/var".  Normally on Unix
you can't tell the difference between /foo/dir and /foo/file but the trailing
slash disambiguates.  File::Spec gets this right.

  use File::Spec;

  ($vol, $dirs, $file) = File::Spec->splitpath("/var/local/");
  print $dirs;
