Rating: 2 stars It's worse than that. First, you have to
manually set the directory separator. Why does the module not
just ask the system? Second, it breaks badly on symbolic links:
% ln -s /etc /tmp/test % perl -MPath::Trim -E '$t =
Path::Trim->new(); $t->set_directory_separator("/"); say
$t->trim_path("/tmp/test/..");' /tmp % perl -MCwd=abs_path -E
'say abs_path("/tmp/test/..")' / penma penma Rating: 5 stars The
interface of the module is almost like the standard C API (only
changes required for making it work in Perl have been made),
making porting of programs easy and allowing coders familar with
the C API to start working with this module in no time. Starting
with 0.57, this module has received a new maintainer which seems
to know what he is doing, and it has seen following overdue
improvements over 0.56: * Build process has greatly improved,
the module is now really easy to build bot
