Reading parent directory path

[suneel.reddy]

Hi Monks,

Can anyone help me in finding the parent directory path, I don't have any inputs for current directory also. I just need to find the parent directory path from where my script is

I also have a script which only prints parent directory, where as I need to store it into a variable,

---------------------------------------

use strict;

use warnings;

use Cwd;

use File::Spec;

print Cwd::realpath(File::Spec->updir);

---------------------------------------

Thanks in advance

Suneel

Have you thought about storing the value in a variable instead of printing it?

Also, reading the File::Spec documentation might help you in understanding what function calls to combine to get the results you want.

I'm sure your course material covers all of this. I suggest you review your notes.

Assign this to a variable if it prints what you want.

use strict;
use warnings;

use Cwd;
use File::Spec;

my $parent = Cwd::realpath(File::Spec->updir);
print "Parent directory: $parent";
