File::Spec stuff

This needs to be redone.

is_absolute

relative

Get a relative name.

  my $rel = $abs->relative;

Also, with optional relative-to directory:

  my $rel = $abs->relative($to);

relative_to

Same as relative(), but requires the $dir argument.

  my $rel = $abs->relative_to($dir);

resolve

Fully resolve any symlinks;

  my $path = $path->resolve;

Where $path and $linkname are both relative to the current directory.

  $path->relative_symlink($linkname);

utime

Update the file timestamps.

  $file->utime($atime, $mtime);

Optionally, set both to the same time.

  $file->utime($time);

Also see touch().

chmod

  $path->chmod($mode);

rename

Calls the builtin rename() on the $path and returns a new object with that name.

  $path = $path->rename($newname);

Stat Object

The stat() and lstat() methods both return a File::stat object.

stat

  my $st = $obj->stat;

lstat

Same as stat, but does not dereference symlinks.

  my $st = $obj->lstat;

is_same

Returns true if the two paths are the same. This is by string equality, then (if both paths exist) by device+inode equality.

  $bool = $path->is_same($other);
