Hello Everyone,

I am very new to Perl, I am wondering if Perl surport Symlink () and readlink() in Windows XP?

Thank you!

Code: 
$ perldoc -f readlink
       readlink EXPR
       readlink
               Returns the value of a symbolic link, if symbolic links are
               implemented.  If not, gives a fatal error.  If there is some
               system error, returns the undefined value and sets "$!"
               (errno).  If EXPR is omitted, uses "$_".

Sorry misread question, XP doesn't support the notion of symlinks AFAIK
