Sym Link problem

Hi,
I am using Mac X 10.5. It's supporting BSD. I am getting strange problem.

• Launch the terminal.
• Create a directory. Use cd <directory>
• Now create another directory test with command “mkdir test”.
• Create a soft link with command “ln -s text.txt test”
• Go to the test directory “cd test”.
• Run the command ls -la. Output would be as

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8 Sep 24 12:59 text.txt -> text.txt

Here, a file is pointing it self.
Anybody know, why it's happening.

NAME
MojoMojo::Formatter::File - format file as XHTML DESCRIPTION
This formatter will format the file argument as XHTML. Usage: {{file TYPE filename}} {{file Text uploads/Files/test.txt}} TYPE is a plugin present in Formatter/File/ directory. Currently there are only three: Pod, DocBook and Text The plugin TYPE format only the file which the extension match with 'can_format' method. Respectively pod, xml and txt for existing plugins. For security reasons the path of file must be include in 'whitelisting' directory. You can use path_to(DIR) to describe directory in mojomojo.conf: Just an example to view the test pod file t/var/files/test.pod : Add this to mojomojo.conf : <Formatter::Dir> prefix_url /myfiles whitelisting __path_to(t/var/files)__ </Formatter::Dir> To see the pod content formatted in xhtml, write in the text area: {{file Pod path_to(t/var/files)test.pod}} To show recursively all files of directory see script/util/dir2mojomojo.pl script. To test it: # start mojomojo ./script/mojomojo_server.pl # run dir2mojomojo script ./script/util/dir2mojomojo.pl --dir=~/dev/mojomojo/t/var/files/ --url=/myfiles Connect to http://server:3000/myfiles/ METHODS
format_content_order Format order can be 1-99. The File formatter runs on 92. format_content Calls the formatter. Takes a ref to the content as well as the context object. plugin Return the plugin to use with file attachment format Return the content formatted checkplugin Return 0 if plugin exist checkfile Directory must be include in whitelisting SEE ALSO
