title: How do I get full Win32 path from 8.3 DOS path with Perl?
body: <p>My question basically says it all.  I am getting this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\DOCUME~1\frew\MYDOCU~1\Code\AIRCRA~1\lib\ACD\VALIDA~1.PM
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I want this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Documents and Settings\frew\My Documents\Code\aircraft_ducting\lib\ACD\Validators.pm
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I looked at File::Spec::Win32 but that didn't seem to have anything that would do the trick.</p>
  
  <p>Ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
