Path-Trim version 0.0.2 NAME Path::Trim - Makes paths compact VERSION This document describes Path::Trim version 0.0.2 INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test ./Build install SYNOPSIS use Path::Trim; my $path = 'a/b/../.././c/d'; my $pt = Path::Trim->new(); $pt->set_directory_separator('/'); $trimmed_path = $pt->trim_path($path); DESCRIPTION Trims paths containing redundant current directory and parent directory entries. For example: a/b/../.././c/d is equivalent to: c/d INTERFACE "new()" Returns an object of Path::Trim. "get_current_directory()" Returns the current directory representation. Example: . Defaults to "." if not set with "set_current_directory()". "set_current_directory( current_directory )" Sets the current directory representation to the value of "current_directory". "get_parent_directory()" Returns the parent directory representation. Example: .. Defaults to ".." if not set with "set_parent_directory()". "set_parent_directory( parent_directory )" Sets the parent directory representation to the value of "parent_directory". "get_directory_separator()" Returns the directory separator, if it has already been set with "set_directory_separator()". "set_directory_separator( directory_separator )" Sets the directory separator to the value of "directory_separator". "trim_path( path )" Accepts a path (without volume) and returns the trimmed version. It assumes that a directory separator has already been set with "set_directory_separator()". This is different from "Cwd"'s "abs_path()" in that it does not have any filesystem ties. CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT Path::Trim requires no configuration files or environment variables. DEPENDENCIES None. INCOMPATIBILITIES None reported. BUGS AND LIMITATIONS No bugs have been reported.
