+
+File::Spec::Epoc - methods for Epoc file specs
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ require File::Spec::Epoc; # Done internally by File::Spec if needed
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+See File::Spec::Unix for a documentation of the methods provided
+there. This package overrides the implementation of these methods, not
+the semantics.
+
+This package is still work in progress ;-)

+=item devnull
+
+Returns a string representation of the null device.
+
+=cut
+
+sub devnull {
+ return "nul:";
+}
+
+=item tmpdir
+
+Returns a string representation of a temporay directory:
+
+=cut
+
+my $tmpdir;
+sub tmpdir {
+ return "C:/System/temp";
+}
+
+sub case_tolerant {
+ return 1;
+}
+
+sub file_name_is_absolute {
+ my ($self,$file) = @_;
+ return scalar($file =~ m{^([a-z?]:)?[\\/]}is);
+}
+
+=item path
+
+Takes no argument, returns the environment variable PATH as an array. Since
+there is no search path supported, it returns undef, sorry.
+
+=cut
+sub path {
+ return undef;
+}
+
+=item canonpath
+
+No physical check on the filesystem, but a logical cleanup of a
+path. On UNIX eliminated successive slashes and successive "/.".
+
+=cut
+
+sub canonpath {
+ my ($self,$path) = @_;
+ $path =~ s/^([a-z]:)/\u$1/s;
+
+ $path =~ s|/+|/|g unless($^O eq 'cygwin'); # xx////xx -> xx/xx
+ $path =~ s|(/\.)+/|/|g; # xx/././xx -> xx/xx
+ $path =~ s|^(\./)+||s unless $path eq "./"; # ./xx -> xx
+ $path =~ s|^/(\.\./)+|/|s; # /../../xx -> xx
+ $path =~ s|/\z|| unless $path eq "/"; # xx/ -> xx

+}
+
+=item splitpath
+
+ ($volume,$directories,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $path );
+ ($volume,$directories,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $path, $no_file );
+
+Splits a path in to volume, directory, and filename portions. Assumes that
+the last file is a path unless the path ends in '\\', '\\.', '\\..'
+or $no_file is true. On Win32 this means that $no_file true makes this return
+( $volume, $path, undef ).
+
+Separators accepted are \ and /.
+
+The results can be passed to L</catpath> to get back a path equivalent to
+(usually identical to) the original path.
+

+
+sub splitpath {
+ my ($self,$path, $nofile) = @_;
+ my ($volume,$directory,$file) = ('','','');

+
+
+=item splitdir
+
+The opposite of L</catdir()>.
+
+ @dirs = File::Spec->splitdir( $directories );
+
+$directories must be only the directory portion of the path on systems
+that have the concept of a volume or that have path syntax that differentiates
+files from directories.
+
+Unlike just splitting the directories on the separator, leading empty and
+trailing directory entries can be returned, because these are significant
+on some OSs. So,
+
+ File::Spec->splitdir( "/a/b/c" );
+
+Yields:
+
+ ( '', 'a', 'b', '', 'c', '' )
+
+=cut
+
+sub splitdir {
+ my ($self,$directories) = @_ ;
+ #
+ # split() likes to forget about trailing null fields, so here we
+ # check to be sure that there will not be any before handling the
+ # simple case.
+ #
+ if ( $directories !~ m|[\\/]\z| ) {
+ return split( m|[\\/]|, $directories );
+ }

+ #
+ # since there was a trailing separator, add a file name to the end,
+ # then do the split, then replace it with ''.

+ return @directories ;

+
+
+=item catpath
+
+Takes volume, directory and file portions and returns an entire path. Under
+Unix, $volume is ignored, and this is just like catfile(). On other OSs,
+the $volume become significant.
+
+=cut
+
+sub catpath {
+ my ($self,$volume,$directory,$file) = @_;

+ # whatever separator is first in the $volume

+ $directory =~ m@^[^\\/]@s
+ ) ;
+
+ $volume .= $directory ;
+
+ # If the volume is not just A:, make sure the glue separator is
+ # there, reusing whatever separator is first in the $volume if possible.

+
+
+=item abs2rel
+
+Takes a destination path and an optional base path returns a relative path
+from the base path to the destination path:
+
+ $rel_path = File::Spec->abs2rel( $destination ) ;
+ $rel_path = File::Spec->abs2rel( $destination, $base ) ;
+
+If $base is not present or '', then L</cwd()> is used. If $base is relative,
+then it is converted to absolute form using L</rel2abs()>. This means that it
+is taken to be relative to L<cwd()>.
+
+On systems with the concept of a volume, this assumes that both paths
+are on the $destination volume, and ignores the $base volume.
+
+On systems that have a grammar that indicates filenames, this ignores the
+$base filename as well. Otherwise all path components are assumed to be
+directories.
+
+If $path is relative, it is converted to absolute form using L</rel2abs()>.
+This means that it is taken to be relative to L</cwd()>.
+
+Based on code written by Shigio Yamaguchi.
+
+No checks against the filesystem are made.
