5.6.1b2 and AmphetaDesk...

Since XML::Parser was ported to the 5.6.1b2 MacPerl, I decided to try
AmphetaDesk with it and see how things were going. Of non-shipped MacPerl
Beta modules, I use only two: XML::Parser and XML::Simple. My XML::Simple
installation was a cheat - I just dragged over my 5.004 copy from my
previous MacPerl installation.

Ignoring the below, AmphetaDesk ran perfectly in the
beta, and I could notice some speed increases as well.
Just a matter of getting a RuntimeBuilder working
and I'll be perfectly happy with the beta release ;)...

NOTE: I know I should be using File::Spec to create the path names below.
When I wrote the faulty code, I didn't know it existed, so don't kill me.

In the current MacPerl release:

  #!/usr/bin/perl
  use Cwd;
  my $location = getcwd;
  print $location;

  Splooge:Applications (Mac OS 9):MacPerl Ÿ

In the current MacPerl beta, the same code prints:

  Splooge:Applications (Mac OS 9):MacPerl Beta Ÿ:

Notice the delimiter at the end. In the current AmphetaDesk code, I add the
delimiter to $location myself (I know, File::Spec, you scream. Shuddup,
already!). Later on in the script, I -e on the $location and everything
works fine.

With no modifications in the beta, my -e will fail on $location. Due to my
previous adding of delimiter to $location, I get something like:

  Splooge:Applications (Mac OS 9):MacPerl Beta Ÿ::filename.txt

And this causes the -e to fail within 5.6.1b2.

When I run the same code within the OS X Terminal, I get:

  /Users/morbus

Which duplicates the current 5.004 MacPerl behavior. Which
is correct? Is this a bug? Should I report it as a bug?
