Hello all,... ....mainly being using Python for my programing tasks, I lately needed to get acquainted with Perl and I have to say I kinda like it. Anyhow, messing around trying to modify some perl scripts on one of our servers, I kindly would like to ask one question: In Python, I got used to two functions named "basename" (similar to the "basename" command that is part of the GNU shell utilities) and "path", working like that:
basename(/tmp/whatever/file-I-would-like) ->file-I-would-like path(/tmp/whatever/file-I-would-like) ->/tmp/whatever Do I have those functions (or functions doing more or less the same) available in Perl? How are they called, where might I want start reading? TIA, have a good evening everyone!
