Package: libpath-class-perl (0.37-1)

module for cross-platform path specification manipulation

Path::Class is a module for manipulation of file and directory specifications (strings describing their locations; for example: '/home/ken/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.

Path::Class uses File::Spec internally, wrapping all the unsightly details so you can concentrate on your application code. Path::Class provides an object model of path specifications and their semantics. In other words, it creates objects representing files and directories, and provides methods that relate them to each other.
