It is friendlier to use than File::Spec and provides easy +access to functions from several other core file handling modules. + +It doesn't attempt to be as full-featured as IO::All or Path::Class, +nor does it try to work for anything except Unix-like and Win32 platforms. +Even then, it might break if you try something particularly obscure or +tortuous. (Quick! What does this mean: ///../../..//./././a//b/.././c/././? +And how does it differ on Win32?) + +All paths are forced to have Unix-style forward slashes. Stringifying the +object gives you back the path (after some clean up). + +File input/output methods flock handles before reading or writing, as +appropriate. + +The *_utf8 methods (slurp_utf8, lines_utf8, etc.) operate in raw mode +without CRLF translation. Installing Unicode::UTF8 0.58 or later will speed +up several of them and is highly recommended. + +It uses autodie internally, so most failures will be thrown as exceptions. |
