-environment and helps to distinguish a file path from a directory path.
+(":") ending with a directory. Resulting paths are B<relative> by default,
+but can be forced to be absolute (but avoid this, see below). Automatically
+puts a trailing ":" on the end of the complete path, because that's what's
+done in MacPerl's environment and helps to distinguish a file path from a
+directory path.
+
+B<IMPORTANT NOTE:> Beginning with version 1.3 of this module, the resulting
+path is relative by default and I<not> absolute. This descision was made due
+to portability reasons. Since C<File::Spec-E<gt>catdir()> returns relative paths
+on all other operating systems, it will now also follow this convention on Mac
+OS. Note that this may break some existing scripts.
The intended purpose of this routine is to concatenate I<directory names>.
But because of the nature of Macintosh paths, some additional possibilities
I<paths> instead of directory names (strictly speaking, a string like ":a"
is a path, but not a name, since it contains a punctuation character ":").
-Here are the rules that are used: Each argument has its trailing ":" removed.
-Each argument, except the first, has its leading ":" removed. They are then
-joined together by a ":" and a trailing ":" is added to the path.
-
So, beside calls like
- File::Spec->catdir("a") = "a:"
- File::Spec->catdir("a","b") = "a:b:"
- File::Spec->catdir("","a","b") = ":a:b:"
- File::Spec->catdir("a","","b") = "a::b:"
- File::Spec->catdir("") = ":"
- File::Spec->catdir("a","b","") = "a:b::" (!)
- File::Spec->catdir() = "" (special case)
+ catdir("a") = ":a:"
+ catdir("a","b") = ":a:b:"
+ catdir() = "" (special case)
calls like the following
- File::Spec->catdir("a:",":b") = "a:b:"
- File::Spec->catdir("a:b:",":c") = "a:b:c:"
- File::Spec->catdir("a:","b") = "a:b:"
- File::Spec->catdir("a",":b") = "a:b:"
- File::Spec->catdir(":a","b") = ":a:b:"
- File::Spec->catdir("","",":a",":b") = "::a:b:"
- File::Spec->catdir("",":a",":b") = ":a:b:" (!)
- File::Spec->catdir(":") = ":"
+ catdir(":a:") = ":a:"
+ catdir(":a","b") = ":a:b:"
+ catdir(":a:","b") = ":a:b:"
+ catdir(":a:",":b:") = ":a:b:"
+ catdir(":") = ":"
are allowed.
-To get a path beginning with a ":" (a relative path), put a "" as the first
-argument. Beginning the first argument with a ":" (e.g. ":a") will also work
-(see the examples).
+Here are the rules that are used in C<catdir()>; note that we try to be as
+compatible as possible to Unix:
-Since Mac OS (Classic) uses the concept of volumes, there is an ambiguity:
-Does the first argument in
+=over 2
- File::Spec->catdir("LWP","Protocol");
+=item 1.
-denote a volume or a directory, i.e. should the path be relative or absolute?
-There is no way of telling except by checking for the existence of "LWP:" (a
-volume) or ":LWP" (a directory), but those checks aren't made here. Thus, according
-to the above rules, the path "LWP:Protocol:" will be returned, which, considered
-alone, is an absolute path, although the volume "LWP:" may not exist. Hence, don't
-forget to put a ":" in the appropriate place in the path if you want to
-distinguish unambiguously. (Remember that a valid relative path should always begin
-with a ":", unless you are specifying a file or a directory that resides in the
-I<current> directory. In that case, the leading ":" is not mandatory.)
+The resulting path is relative by default, i.e. the resulting path will have a
+leading colon.
-With version 1.2 of File::Spec, there's a new method called C<catpath>, that
-takes volume, directory and file portions and returns an entire path (see below).
-While C<catdir> is still suitable for the concatenation of I<directory names>,
-you should consider using C<catpath> to concatenate I<volume names> and
-I<directory paths>, because it avoids any ambiguities. E.g.
+=item 2.
- $dir = File::Spec->catdir("LWP","Protocol");
- $abs_path = File::Spec->catpath("MacintoshHD:", $dir, "");
+A trailing colon is added automatically to the resulting path, to denote a
+directory.
-yields
+=item 3.
+
+Generally, each argument has one leading ":" and one trailing ":"
+removed (if any). They are then joined together by a ":". Special
+treatment applies for arguments denoting updir paths like "::lib:",
+see (4), or arguments consisting solely of colons ("colon paths"),
+see (5).
+
+=item 4.
+
+When an updir path like ":::lib::" is passed as argument, the number
+of directories to climb up is handled correctly, not removing leading
+or trailing colons when necessary. E.g.
+
+ catdir(":::a","::b","c") = ":::a::b:c:"
+ catdir(":::a::","::b","c") = ":::a:::b:c:"
+
+=item 5.
+
+Adding a colon ":" or empty string "" to a path at I<any> position
+doesn't alter the path, i.e. these arguments are ignored. (When a ""
+is passed as the first argument, it has a special meaning, see
+(6)). This way, a colon ":" is handled like a "." (curdir) on Unix,
+while an empty string "" is generally ignored (see
+C<Unix-E<gt>canonpath()> ). Likewise, a "::" is handled like a ".."
+(updir), and a ":::" is handled like a "../.." etc. E.g.
+
+ catdir("a",":",":","b") = ":a:b:"
+ catdir("a",":","::",":b") = ":a::b:"
+
+=item 6.
+
+If the first argument is an empty string "" or is a volume name, i.e. matches
+the pattern /^[^:]+:/, the resulting path is B<absolute>.
+
+=item 7.
+
+Passing an empty string "" as the first argument to C<catdir()> is
+like passingC<File::Spec-E<gt>rootdir()> as the first argument, i.e.
+
+ catdir("","a","b") is the same as
+
+ catdir(rootdir(),"a","b").
+
+This is true on Unix, where C<catdir("","a","b")> yields "/a/b" and
+C<rootdir()> is "/". Note that C<rootdir()> on Mac OS is the startup
+volume, which is the closest in concept to Unix' "/". This should help
+to run existing scripts originally written for Unix.
+
+=item 8.
+
+For absolute paths, some cleanup is done, to ensure that the volume
+name isn't immediately followed by updirs. This is invalid, because
+this would go beyond "root". Generally, these cases are handled like
+their Unix counterparts:
+
+ Unix:
+ Unix->catdir("","") = "/"
+ Unix->catdir("",".") = "/"
+ Unix->catdir("","..") = "/" # can't go beyond root
+ Unix->catdir("",".","..","..","a") = "/a"
+ Mac:
+ Mac->catdir("","") = rootdir() # (e.g. "HD:")
+ Mac->catdir("",":") = rootdir()
+ Mac->catdir("","::") = rootdir() # can't go beyond root
+ Mac->catdir("",":","::","::","a") = rootdir() . "a:" # (e.g. "HD:a:")
+
+However, this approach is limited to the first arguments following
+"root" (again, see C<Unix-E<gt>canonpath()> ). If there are more
+arguments that move up the directory tree, an invalid path going
+beyond root can be created.
- "MacintoshHD:LWP:Protocol:" .
+=back
+
+As you've seen, you can force C<catdir()> to create an absolute path
+by passing either an empty string or a path that begins with a volume
+name as the first argument. However, you are strongly encouraged not
+to do so, since this is done only for backward compatibility. Newer
+versions of File::Spec come with a method called C<catpath()> (see
+below), that is designed to offer a portable solution for the creation
+of absolute paths. It takes volume, directory and file portions and
+returns an entire path. While C<catdir()> is still suitable for the
+concatenation of I<directory names>, you are encouraged to use
+C<catpath()> to concatenate I<volume names> and I<directory
+paths>. E.g.
+
+ $dir = File::Spec->catdir("tmp","sources");
+ $abs_path = File::Spec->catpath("MacintoshHD:", $dir,"");
+
+yields
+ "MacintoshHD:tmp:sources:" .

Concatenate one or more directory names and a filename to form a
-complete path ending with a filename. Since this uses catdir, the
-same caveats apply. Note that the leading ":" is removed from the
-filename, so that

+The last argument is always considered to be the file portion. Since
