Comment (by barry.wardell):

 Here is a simple test case which reproduces the problem:

 mkdir dir1
 mkdir dir1/dir2
 touch dir1/dir2/file
 ln -s dir1/dir2 dir3
 perl -e 'link dir3, dir4'
 rm -rf dir4

 This only happens on my Mac - when I try it on Damiana, dir4 is a symlink
 as it should be. So this seems to be triggering some weird behavior/bug in
 perl's link command.
