FILE::SPEC::EPOC(3perl)

💖 NAME 💖

ok so File::Spec::Epoc — it's giving methods for Epoc file specs ✨ like that's the whole vibe, it handles the Epoc flavor of file paths bestie 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

require File::Spec::Epoc; # Done internally by File::Spec if needed

no cap, you literally never have to do this yourself — File::Spec pulls it in internally when it needs it 💅

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

kay so for the actual documentation of the methods that live here, you gotta go look at File::Spec::Unix 👀 that's where the method docs are at, iykyk.

the tea is: this package overrides the implementation of those methods — NOT the semantics 🫶 same behavior, different guts, periodt.

andddd just so we're clear, this package is still a work in progress. ;-) 😭 like it said so itself fr fr, so don't come for it 💀

✨ canonpath() ✨

ok icon behavior: this does no physical check on the filesystem — none, zero, nope 🙈 it's just a logical cleanup of a path.

and on UNIX it eliminates successive slashes and successive "/." 🧹✨ like tidying up your path's whole look, slay.
