( $cmd_name !~ /\..+$/ )  ## Only run if cmd_name has no extension?

will match '.11.1/perl' if
$cmd_name = 'C:/perl/5.11.1/perl';

Hi, looking at your patch, can you tell me the purpose of the proposed 
changes in the diff for lib/IPC/Run/Win32IO.pm?

Fix will be in 0.85 but I'm leaving this ticket open to make a test for now.

I put a basic test together to prove the new functionality of the regex for 
_search_path

That part of the patch does not seem related to this issue.
It has been reported as an other issue: 49693 (security patch for
lib\IPC\Run\Win32IO.pm s/INADDR_ANY/$loopback/)
