With Perl 5.20, installing a package with stow gives a warning like
this:
Possible precedence issue with control flow operator at
/gar/packages/stow-2.2.0/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.20.0/Stow.pm line 1736.

Fix the case discovered by Hiroyuki Iwatsuki where stowing fails if
the stow / target directories are non-canonical paths. For example,
on FreeBSD /home is a symlink pointing to 'usr/home', so running with
the stow directory as /home/user/local/stow and the target directory
as /home/user/local previously resulted in the stow directory path
being calculated as ../../../usr/home/user/local/stow relative to
the target.

This is more in keeping with the UNIX convention of no output on success,
and is also the way Stow v1.x behaved. Thanks to Adam Sampson for the suggestion.
