| Summary: Cross-platform path specification manipulation | |
'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( @dirs, $file )
);
can be written using 'Path::Class' as
my $absolute = Path::Class::File->new( @dirs, $file )->is_absolute;
or even as
my $absolute = file( @dirs, $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.

- As advised in the utime() docs, pass undef as the time for touch().
- Do a better job cleaning up temp files in the tests.
- Optimization: use parent.pm instead of base.pm. [Olivier Mengué]
- Changed the docs to show that file() and dir() are exported by
default.
- Fixed spelling error in POD. [Salvatore Bonaccorso]
* Sun Jun 09 2013 coolo@suse.com
- updated to 0.32
- Updated dependency on File::Spec to 3.26, fixing RT #83143.
- Fixed bug with leading empty string in dir() - became unintentional
UNC path on Cygwin. [David Golden and MITHUN@cpan.org]
- Fixed "Unterminated C<...> sequence" in Pod. [Olaf Alders]
0.31 Tue Feb 5 11:51:59 CST 2013
- Optimization: stringify variables passed to canonpath [David Golden]
- Optimization: Use internal guts when constructing Dirs from
Dirs, instead of concatenating and splitting them again with
File::Spec. [David Golden]
- Fix grammar error in docs. [Karen Etheridge]
- Implement a 'split' parameter for the slurp() method [suggested by Yanick Champoux]
- In docs, replace unicode MINUS SIGN with ascii HYPHEN-MINUS [Randy Stauner]
0.29 Mon Dec 17 23:55:07 CST 2012
- Add components() method, which returns directory names (and
filename, if this is a File object) as a list.
- Fix a test failure on non-Unix platforms, the 07-recurseprune.t
test was written in a Unix-specific way.
0.28 Sat Dec 15 21:40:17 CST 2012
- Fix test failures when run as root - they were relying on
permissions failures, but permissions never fail as root. [Spotted
by AAR and Chris Williams]
- Add links in docs to the other modules we rely on & talk about in
the docs. Makes for easier viewing through search.cpan.org /
MetaCPAN. [David Precious]
- Fixed some misleading variable names in docs. [RT#81795] [Pau Amma]
0.27 Sat Dec 8 19:24:15 CST 2012
- Added pruning support in dir->recurse(). If recurse callback
returns $item->PRUNE, no children of this item will be
analyzed. [Marcin Kasperski]
- Documented 'basename' method for directories. [Fabrice Gabolde]
- Added traverse_if() function, which allows one to filter children
* Tue May 29 2012 coolo@suse.com
- it should work with all Module::Build
* Mon Feb 27 2012 coolo@suse.com
- updated to 0.25
- resolve() now croak()s instead of die()s on non-existent file. [Danijel Tašov]
- Added a traverse() method for directories, based on the fmap_cont()
method of Forest::Tree::Pure. It's an alternative to ->recurse,
which allows for more control over how the recursion
happens. [Jesse Luehrs]
- Fixed a grammar error in the docs. [Shlomi Fish]
* Mon May 30 2011 coolo@novell.com
- updated to 0.24
- Added a tempfile() method for Dir objects, which provides an
interface to File::Temp. [RT#60485]
- Fixed a non-helpful fatal error message when calling resolve() on a
path that doesn't exist. Now dies with the proper "No such file or
directory" message & exit status. [GRAF]
* Sat Apr 02 2011 coolo@novell.com
- update to 0.23:
- Fixed a bunch of problems with the distribution (e.g. in META.yml)
that I introduced in the switch to Dist::Zilla. No code changes
from 0.22.
* Sun Dec 26 2010 pascal.bleser@opensuse.org
- update to 0.22:
* added a basename() method for directory objects
- changes from 0.21:
* don't test the 'iomode' option under 5.6, because layers aren't supported yet
* fixes to spelling errors in the docmuentation
* Tue Nov 30 2010 coolo@novell.com
- switch to perl_requires macro
* Mon Aug 09 2010 chris@computersalat.de
- update to 0.19
- slurp() now accepts an 'iolayers' option to control how the file is
opened. [Graham Barr]
- In the openr() and openw() file methods, we now croak() instead of
die() so that the error messages are more useful. [Ian Sillitoe]
- Allow subclassing, by adding dir_class() and file_class() static
methods, allowing them to be overridden. [Matt Trout & John LoVerso
& Michael Schwern]
- Fixed a testing failure that could occur whenever testing in a
directory path that contains symlinks (e.g. /tmp on Mac OS X).
- Added a 'no_hidden' parameter for children() [EDENC <EDENC@cpan.org>]
- Fixed the heading for the is_relative() POD section. [CUB <cub.uanic@gmail.com>]
- 0.18 - Sun Dec 20 10:11:02 CST 2009
- Similar to the next() bug for files/directories named "0" or "0.0"
in the previous release, the children() and recurse() methods have
now been fixed in the same way. [spotted by ARTHAS, MSISK]
- 0.17 - Sun Jun 14 21:42:16 2009
- dir(undef) now returns undef rather than the rootdir, because undef
was probably a mistake by the caller, and the rootdir is too scary
a default. [Suggested by John Goulah]
- Temporary files during testing are now created in the system temp
directory, rather than somewhere in t/ . See RT #31382. [Suggested
by Alex Page]
- Added is_relative() as the obvious complement to the existing
is_absolute() method.
- Added a resolve() method to clean up paths much more thoroughly
than cleanup(), e.g. resolving symlinks, collapsing foo/../bar
sections, etc. [Suggested by David Garamond]
- Fixed a problem in which a file/directory called "0" or "0.0" would
end a loop prematurely when using the idiom 'while($x =
$dir->next) {...}'. See http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29374
[Spotted by Daniel Lo]
- Fixed an exists($array[$i]) that prevented compatibility with perl
5.005.
- Moved the repository from my personal CVS repo to Google Code.
- recreated by cpanspec 1.78
- noarch pkg
