File::PathConvert provides functions to convert between absolute and
relative paths, and from logical paths to physical paths on a variety of
filesystems, including the URL 'filesystem'.

For new programs, it is probably better to use File::Spec and Cwd
modules, if you can help it.

Add p5-File-PathConvert, a perl module to perform various path manipulations. Although the author of the module has deprecated it and asks to use File::Spec and Cwd instead, it apparently is still being used (by freshports, for example). 2005-02-27 20:24:45 +01:00			`File::PathConvert provides functions to convert between absolute and`

After a 2002(!) reorganization, this is the preferred way to refer to modules on search.cpan.org.
