Re: How to convert unix ~path (tilde) to full path

in reply to How to convert unix ~path (tilde) to full path

The 'HOME' environment variable is set to the home directory of the user, so:

use File::Spec;

my $FileName;
my $homedir = $ENV{HOME};

if ($FileName =~ /^~/) {
  $FileName =~ s/^~//;
  $FileName = File::Spec->catfile($homedir, $FileName);
}

would probably do the trick.
