NAME

6       File::Spec::Native - Use native OS implementation of File::Spec from a
7       subclass
8

VERSION

10       version 1.004
11

SYNOPSIS

13         # This serves little purpose on its own but can be useful in some situations
14
15         # For example:
16         use Path::Class 0.24;
17
18         # convert foreign file type into native type
19         # without having to know what the current OS is
20         foreign_file(Win32 => $win32_path)->as_foreign("Native");
21
22         # or to build a file-spec dynamically (possibly taking the type from input):
23         my $type = get_requested_file_spec(); # can return "Native"
24         foreign_file($type => $file_path);
25
26         # having $type be "Native" is an alternative to having to do:
27         my $file = $type ? foreign_file($type, $file_path) : file($file_path);

DESCRIPTION

30       This module is a stupid hack to make the default File::Spec behavior
31       available from a subclass.  This can be useful when using another
32       module that expects a subclass of File::Spec but you want to use the
33       current, native OS format (automatically detected by File::Spec).
34
35       For example: "as_foreign" in Path::Class (as of version 0.24) allows
36       you to translate a Path::Class object from one OS format to another.
37       However, there is no way to specify that you want to translate the path
38       into the current, native OS format without guessing at what that format
39       is (which may include peeking into @File::Spec::ISA).
40
41       This module @ISA File::Spec.
