Re: Portable method for ignoring psuedo-files/psuedo-dirs?

Look at File::Spec's no_upwards(). There's an also updir(), but I don't see something like this_dir().

Update: Oh yeah, curdir()!

There's a curdir() which will do what you want. My test code: `use File::Spec; my $f = 'File::Spec'; print $f->curdir, "\n"; print $f->updir, "\n";` [download] My output: $ perl ./test_file_spec . .. $ [download] There's also some notes on this in the perlport manpage ("Files and Filesystems" section).

Thanks, `no_upwards` is exactly what I was looking for. I don't know how I missed it, considering that I looked through File::Spec several times, and am using it already for the other file-system-portable functions. Anyway, thanks. `------------ :Wq Not an editor command: Wq` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
