Pardon the not-very-useful wild guess, but wasn't there a nice example program in some old Camel Book that would print out an output like
/home/mjd/foo.c
/home/mjd/bar/baz/foo.c
/home/mjd/bar-1.0/baz/foo.c
/userhomes/m/j/mjd/bar-1.0/baz/foo.c
/mnt/homevol/m/j/mjd/bar-1.0/baz/foo.c
as it progressively resolved the symlinks in higher and higher components of a path?
I thought it might have been one of those abandoned items in the Perl source eg/ directory, but I couldn't find it there, so the Camel Book was my next guess.
Addendum: This looks kinda interesting too.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
