File::Spec::Win32 - methods for Win32 file specs
require File::Spec::Win32; # Done internally by File::Spec if needed
See File::Spec::Unix for a documentation of the methods provided there. This package overrides the implementation of these methods, not the semantics.
$ENV{TMPDIR} $ENV{TEMP} $ENV{TMP} SYS:/temp C:/temp /tmp /
The SYS:/temp is preferred in Novell NetWare.
Since Perl 5.8.0, if running under taint mode, and if the environment variables are tainted, they are not used.
($volume,$directories,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $path ); ($volume,$directories,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $path, $no_file );
Splits a path in to volume, directory, and filename portions. Assumes that the last file is a path unless the path ends in '\\', '\\.', '\\..' or $no_file is true. On Win32 this means that $no_file true makes this return ( $volume, $path, undef ).
Separators accepted are \ and /.
Volumes can be drive letters or UNC sharenames (\\server\share).
The results can be passed to catpath to get back a path equivalent to (usually identical to) the original path.
@dirs = File::Spec->splitdir( $directories );
$directories must be only the directory portion of the path on systems that have the concept of a volume or that have path syntax that differentiates files from directories.
Unlike just splitting the directories on the separator, leading empty and trailing directory entries can be returned, because these are significant on some OSs. So,
File::Spec->splitdir( "/a/b/c" );
Yields:
( '', 'a', 'b', '', 'c', '' )
Novell NetWare inherits its File::Spec behaviour from File::Spec::Win32.
