NAME Path::Util - Path functions VERSION This document describes version 0.000002 of Path::Util (from Perl distribution Path-Util), released on 2021-07-05. SYNOPSIS use Path::Util qw( basename ); # basename $filename = basename("/home/ujang/foo.txt"); # => "foo.txt" $dirname = basename("../etc/mysql/"); # => "foo.txt" DESCRIPTION VERY EARLY RELEASE, ONLY A TINY BIT HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED. Following Perl's "easy things should be easy" motto, the goal of this module is to make many path-related tasks as simple as calling a single function. The functions in this module are usually wrappers for functions of other modules or methods of other classes. You can think of this module as the "List::Util for path" or "a non-OO Path::Tiny". FUNCTIONS basename Usage: my $file = basename($path); Examples: This function returns the file portion or last directory portion of a path. It uses File::Spec's "splitpath" and grabs the last returned element, optionally does something extra (see below). Given a list of suffixes as strings or regular expressions, any that matches at the end of the file portion or last directory portion will be removed before the result is returned. Similar to Path::Tiny's "basename". See also: File::Basename. Available since v0.000001. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at . SOURCE Source repository is at .
