Path::Class is a module for manipulation of file and directory specifications (strings describing their locations, like '/home/ken/foo.txt' or 'C:\Windows\Foo.txt') in a cross-platform manner. It supports pretty much every platform Perl runs on, including Unix, Windows, Mac, VMS, Epoc, Cygwin, OS/2, and NetWare.
This module attempts to provide a small, fast utility for working with file paths. It is friendlier to use than File::Spec and provides easy access to functions from several other core file handling modules. It doesn't attempt to be as full-featured as IO::All or Path::Class, nor does it try to work for anything except Unix-like and Win32 platforms. Even then, it might break if you try something particularly obscure or tortuous. All paths are forced to have Unix-style forward slashes. Stringifying the object gives you back the path (after some clean up). File input/output methods flock handles before reading or writing, as appropriate. The *_utf8 methods (slurp_utf8, lines_utf8, etc.) operate in raw mode without CRLF translation.
PathTools Perl module (Cwd, File::Spec).
This is the combined distribution for the File::Spec and Cwd modules.
This module provides an RFC 2898 compliant PBKDF2 implementation using HMAC-SHA1 or HMAC-SHA2.
