NAME

Path::Abstract::Underload - Path::Abstract without stringification overloading

VERSION

version 0.096

SYNOPSIS

  use Path::Abstract::Underload;

  my $path = Path::Abstract::Underload->new("/apple/banana");

  # $parent is "/apple"
  my $parent = $path->parent;

  # $cherry is "/apple/banana/cherry.txt"
  my $cherry = $path->child("cherry.txt");

DESCRIPTION

This is a version of Path::Abstract without the magic "use overload ..." stringification.

Unfortunately, without overloading, you can't do this:

    my $path = Path::Abstract::Underload->new("/a/path/to/somewhere");

    print "$path\n"; # Will print out something like "Path::Abstract::Underload=SCALAR(0xdffaa0)\n"

You'll have to do this instead:

    print $path->get, "\n"; Will print out "/a/path/to/somewhere\n"
    # Note, you can also use $path->stringify or $path->path

    # You could also do this (but it's safer to do one of the above):
    print $$path, "\n";

Or, just use Path::Abstract
