[Perl] recognizing symbolic links from windows

[Gabor Szabo]

I have a Network Appliance file server that is used both from UNIX and 
Windows as a file server.
When looked at it from UNIX I see a directory with a bunch of 
subdirectories and a bunch of symbolic links pointing to either 
subdirectories in this directory or to directories in some other directory.

When running on the Windows machine on the other hand I can see only 
directories and I see both the real directories and the symbolic links
as directories.

How can I find out which entry is a symbolic link and which one is a directory ?
If something is a symlink, where does it point ?
