File::Spec Description

Portably perform operations on file names File::Spec is a Perl module designed to support operations commonly performed on file specifications (usually called "file names", but not to be confused with the contents of a file, or Perl's file handles), such as concatenating several directory and file names into a single path, or determining whether a path is rooted. It is based on code directly taken from MakeMaker 5.17, code written by Andreas König, Andy Dougherty, Charles Bailey, Ilya Zakharevich, Paul Schinder, and others.Since these functions are different for most operating systems, each set of OS specific routines is available in a separate module, including: File::Spec::Unix File::Spec::Mac File::Spec::OS2 File::Spec::Win32 File::Spec::VMSThe module appropriate for the current OS is automatically loaded by File::Spec. Since some modules (like VMS) make use of facilities available only under that OS, it may not be possible to load all modules under all operating systems.Since File::Spec is object oriented, subroutines should not be called directly, as in: File::Spec::catfile('a','b');but rather as class methods: File::Spec->catfile('a','b');For simple uses, File::Spec::Functions provides convenient functional forms of these methods.SYNOPSIS use File::Spec; $x=File::Spec->catfile('a', 'b', 'c');which returns 'a/b/c' under Unix. Or: use File::Spec::Functions; $x = catfile('a', 'b', 'c'); Requirements: · Perl
