Okay, it is located in File::Spec::Unix, File::Spec::Win32,
File::Spec::MacOS even though it is not documented in File::Spec, go
figure.  But I am running perl 5.6 -- that is really weird that it is not
present in 5.005_03 I am pretty sure when I was running that version I was
able to use the same call....  But if you are getting errors, I'll have to
setup a fallback in an eval block.  

Will do today.
