Path::class is a module for manipulation of file and directory specifications (strings describing their locations; for example: '/home/ken/foo.txt') in a cross-platform manner. it supports pretty much every platform perl runs on, including unix, windows, mac, vms, epoc, cygwin, os/2 and netware.

path::class uses file::spec internally, wrapping all the unsightly details so you can concentrate on your application code. path::class provides an object model of path specifications and their semantics. in other words, it creates objects representing files and directories, and provides methods that relate them to each other.
