.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module is a stupid hack to make the default File::Spec behavior
available from a subclass.  This can be useful when using another module
that expects a subclass of File::Spec but you want to use
the current, native \s-1OS\s0 format (automatically detected by File::Spec).
.PP
For example: \*(L"as_foreign\*(R" in Path::Class (as of version 0.24)
allows you to translate a Path::Class object from one \s-1OS\s0 format to another.
However, there is no way to specify that you want to translate the path into
the current, native \s-1OS\s0 format without guessing at what that format is
(which may include peeking into \f(CW@File::Spec::ISA\fR).
.PP
This module \f(CW@ISA\fR File::Spec.
