DESCRIPTION

22       This module provides Windows-specific implementations for determining
23       common user directories.  In normal usage this module will always be
24       used via File::HomeDir.
25
26       Internally this module will use Win32::GetFolderPath to fetch the
27       location of your directories. As a result of this, in certain unusual
28       situations (usually found inside large organisations) the methods may
29       return UNC paths such as "\\cifs.local\home$".
30
31       If your application runs on Windows and you want to have it work
32       comprehensively everywhere, you may need to implement your own handling
33       for these paths as they can cause strange behaviour.
34
35       For example, stat calls to UNC paths may work but block for several
36       seconds, but opendir() may not be able to read any files (creating the
37       appearance of an existing but empty directory).
38
39       To avoid complicating the problem any further, in the rare situation
40       that a UNC path is returned by "GetFolderPath" the usual -d validation
41       checks will not be done.
