| Summary : Cross-Platform Path Specification Manipulation
|
Description :
\'Path::Class\' is a module for manipulation of file and directory
specifications (strings describing their locations, like
\'\'/home/ken/foo.txt\'\' or \'\'C:\\Windows\\Foo.txt\'\') in a cross-platform
manner. It supports pretty much every platform Perl runs on, including
Unix, Windows, Mac, VMS, Epoc, Cygwin, OS/2, and NetWare.
The well-known module File::Spec also provides this service, but it\'s sort
of awkward to use well, so people sometimes avoid it, or use it in a way
that won\'t actually work properly on platforms significantly different than
the ones they\'ve tested their code on.
In fact, \'Path::Class\' uses \'File::Spec\' internally, wrapping all the
unsightly details so you can concentrate on your application code. Whereas
\'File::Spec\' provides functions for some common path manipulations,
\'Path::Class\' provides an object-oriented model of the world of path
specifications and their underlying semantics. \'File::Spec\' doesn\'t create
any objects, and its classes represent the different ways in which paths
must be manipulated on various platforms (not a very intuitive concept).
\'Path::Class\' creates objects representing files and directories, and
provides methods that relate them to each other. For instance, the
following \'File::Spec\' code:
my $absolute = File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute(
File::Spec->catfile( AATTdirs, $file )
);
can be written using \'Path::Class\' as
my $absolute = Path::Class::File->new( AATTdirs, $file )->is_absolute;
or even as
my $absolute = file( AATTdirs, $file )->is_absolute;
Similar readability improvements should happen all over the place when
using \'Path::Class\'.
Using \'Path::Class\' can help solve real problems in your code too - for
instance, how many people actually take the \"volume\" (like \'C:\' on Windows)
into account when writing \'File::Spec\'-using code? I thought not. But if
you use \'Path::Class\', your file and directory objects will know what
volumes they refer to and do the right thing.
The guts of the \'Path::Class\' code live in the Path::Class::File and
Path::Class::Dir modules, so please see those modules\' documentation for
more details about how to use them.
