>Description:
	When using w3mir with a configuration file, regardless of any Cd: directives
	therein, all files are mirrored into the root filesystem.

>How-To-Repeat:

use this config file, for example:

Options: recurse, only-nonexistent, list-urls, list-nonmirrored
URL: http://www.example.com/
Initial-referer: -
Agent: Mozilla/4.0 
Pause: 8
Retry-pause: 16
Retries: 3
debug: 2
umask: 0077
Remove-Nomirror: off
File-Disposition: save
Verbosity: chatty
Cd: fetched
Disable-Headers: user
Fixup: off

all files retrieved will be under '/'

>Fix:

It appears that there is no mechanism to remove the leading '/' from save-to file spec. 
This may be in w3http.pm but I have been unable to find the appropriate instance to correct.
