  When developing a Perl module, I often want to get a quick preview of the documentation that I'm writing, just to see if everything is in order and how it turns out. I used to do this the old fashioned way, by generating an HTML file with

• Commented on Let Paths Be Paths Again
  @Leon Timmermans: That's correct, this module doesn't touch any of that and is mostly useful for constructing relative paths. It wasn't my intention to replace File::Spec entirely, just to provide an alternative, simpler solution for a common use case. As...
• Commented on Let Paths Be Paths Again
  @educated_foo: It is true that most of the time you can get away with just using Unix paths. However, I don't think it's actually guaranteed to work in every situation -- that's why using File::Spec or Path::Class is still recommended....
• Commented on Let Paths Be Paths Again
  @targ: It's definitely a personal thing, and I'm sure many people are just fine with constructing paths with File::Spec or Path::Class, like you are. But for me, it is slightly less readable -- when I look at a path written...

• educated_foo commented on Let Paths Be Paths Again

  I ask because my main reasons for using Path::Class or File::Spec would be fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Where, and how often, will blindly using a Unix path cause trouble?

  BTW, I'm not too worried about showing paths to users, since if they're not on Unix, they probably won't understand them. I have never, while using a Mac, had to deal with the colon-separated native paths.

• ligne commented on Let Paths Be Paths Again

  "Where, and how often, will blindly using a Unix path cause trouble?"

  Windows. it works *most* of the time. except sometimes it doesn't. and it probably won't be clear why.

  (i speak from horrible experience here, having lost a couple of hours last month debugging a problem where some paths in a configuration file were Unix-style and worked just fine, and others were Unix-style and failed far down the line with obtuse error messages. comedy!)
