IO::File::open() uses CORE::open internally, which bypasses CORE::GLOBAL::open and makes IO::File->new() ignore mocked files. Fix: replace IO::File::open with a wrapper that checks if the target file is mocked. If mocked, tie the existing IO::File glob directly (avoiding the need to create a new handle). If not mocked, fall through to the original IO::File::open via goto. This follows the same pattern as the Cwd::abs_path override (PR cpanel#211) — intercept at the namespace level when C/XS code bypasses CORE::GLOBAL.

Cwd::abs_path uses XS (bsd_realpath) which bypasses CORE::GLOBAL::readlink, so mocked symlinks were invisible to it. Fix: replace Cwd::abs_path, realpath, fast_abs_path, and fast_realpath with a wrapper that walks path components, resolves mocked symlinks, and falls through to the original implementation when no mocked paths are involved. The override is installed in the same BEGIN block as the CORE::GLOBAL overrides. When Cwd is imported AFTER Test::MockFile, the imported functions also get the override. Features: - Resolves direct mocked symlinks - Follows chained symlinks (a -> b -> c) - Resolves intermediate symlinks in paths (/link/subdir/file) - Handles relative symlink targets (including ..) - Detects circular symlinks (ELOOP) - Falls through to original for non-mocked paths 21 new tests in t/cwd_abs_path.t.

Summary
Fixes #139.
Cwd::abs_path()uses XS (bsd_realpath) which calls the realreadlink()at the C level, completely bypassing ourCORE::GLOBAL::readlinkoverride. This means mocked symlinks are invisible toabs_path/realpath.Fix: Override
Cwd::abs_path,Cwd::realpath,Cwd::fast_abs_path, andCwd::fast_realpathwith a wrapper that walks path components one-by-one, resolving mocked symlinks from%files_being_mocked. When no mocked paths are involved, the original implementation is called.What works:
abs_path('/mocked_link')→ follows to targeta → b → cabs_path('/link/subdir/file')when/linkis mocked..)ELOOP)abs_pathfor non-mocked pathsCwd::abs_path(...)and importedabs_path(...)Limitation:
When
Cwdis imported BEFORETest::MockFile(e.g.use Cwd qw(abs_path); use Test::MockFile), the importedabs_pathcaptures the original XS function. LoadTest::MockFilefirst for the import to work. The fully qualifiedCwd::abs_path(...)always works regardless of load order.Test plan
