File::...Expand(3pm)

okay bestie 💖 so this is the manual page for File::Path::Expand — it's part of User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the page header calls it File::...Expand(3pm). We're expanding filenames today, and it's giving main character energy. ✨

NAME 🎀

File::Path::Expand — expand filenames

SYNOPSIS ✨

bestie, the whole vibe is literally this:

use File::Path::Expand;
print expand_filename("~richardc/foo"); # prints "/home/richardc/foo"

DESCRIPTION 💅

File::Path::Expand expands user directories in filenames. 🦋 For the simple case it's no more complex than s{^~/}{$HOME/}, but for other cases it consults getpwent and does the right thing. No cap. 💖
