Try
File::Basename and you won't have to reinvent the wheel.
Hi,
I have just started to code up a subroutine to
return the path only from a complete path to a file. This must the the 3rd
time in two months as I have mislaid the routine on my HD and searching for it
would probably take longer than the coding.
When writing this routine, I always seem to take
the long way round and this got my curiosity going and wondering what
other solutions people have come up with that are more elegant and obvious
than my own.
I find many times that looking at someone elses
code can provide an "aha" moment that last far beyong the snippet
involved.
If anyone cares to share their code for this -
that would be cool. If not - thats cool too. I am gonna head back to the
editor and throw it together - again ;-) and I'll post it later so we can
flame it in a public display of humiliation ;-)
