# NAME Path::Canonical - Simple utility to get canonical paths. # SYNOPSIS use Path::Canonical; # DESCRIPTION Path::Canonical is a simple utility to get canonical paths. Other tools such as Cwd::abs\_path exist, but they need to refer to the actual entry in the file system in order to work. This is not feasible, for example, when you just want to cleanse the specified path in a web application, where you may be dealing with a virtual path that does not exist in the file system. # LICENSE Copyright (C) mattn.
