DESCRIPTION

This class implements a set of methods for operating on the directories, archive files, and workfiles which correspond to PVCS folders. It should not ordinarily be loaded directly, but rather, is an ISA to the VCS::PVCS::Project class, as shown above.

METHODS

Return a ref to array (or an array) of all folders in the project with FOO in the name. If no match is found, the folder is created. The objects in this array are blessed into the VCS::PVCS::Folder class. openFolders() accepts partial name matches in the single argument. (Names are matched with grep(//))

members

  @members = $folder->members("regexp");
