Bug#523198: O: libpath-class-perl -- Cross-platform path specification manipulation
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
The current maintainer of libpath-class-perl, Florian Ragwitz <rafl@debian.org>,
is apparently not active anymore. Therefore, I orphan this package now.
Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only adopt this
package if you will have enough time and attention to work on it.
If you want to be the new maintainer, please see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.
Please note that this package is already in the Perl group SVN repository, so if
you want to maintain it, get in touch with that team.

Description: Cross-platform path specification manipulation
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.
.
The well-known module File::Spec also provides this service, but it's sort of
awkward to use well, so people sometimes avoid it, or use it in a way that
won't actually work properly on platforms significantly different than the
ones they've tested their code on.
.
In fact, Path::Class uses File::Spec internally, wrapping all the unsightly
details so you can concentrate on your application code. Whereas File::Spec
provides functions for some common path manipulations, Path::Class provides an
object-oriented model of the world of path specifications and their underlying
semantics. File::Spec doesn't create any objects, and its classes represent
the different ways in which paths must be manipulated on various platforms
(not a very intuitive concept). Path::Class creates objects representing
files and directories, and provides methods that relate them to each other.
