Where do relative paths fit into your schema? I find I need to distinguish between fully qualified paths and simply qualified paths.
I also find no reason to have to different nomenclature for directory paths and file paths.
I use
fn | File name (no path) |
qn | Qualified file name (rel or abs path) |
fqn | Fully qualified file name (abs path) |
fh | File handle |
fhdh | Directory handle |
For example,
my $log_fn = 'log';
my $log_qn = catfile($log_dir_qn, $log_fn);
my $log_fqn = rel2abs($log_qn);
open(my $log_fh, '<', $log_qn);
my $log_dir_fn = 'log';
my $log_dir_qn = catdir($app_dir_qn, $log_fn);
my $log_dir_fqn = rel2abs($log_dir_qn);
opendir(my $log_dir_dh, $log_dir_qn);
Update: Fixed copy and paste error where "fh" appeared where "dh" should have been.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
