Re: Arrow Operator and questions related to Path::Class

[ww]

"HOW do i guess that next would indeed be written as next and not next()...?"

perldoc -f next at your command prompt.

next is an integral flow control function in perl... it's not something special to any particular (non-core) module.

Thanks, and what about $file->stringify ?
I got:
No documentation for perl function `stringify' found
$perldoc -f stringify

You will need to learn about the arrow operator ->, for example in perlop, and/or one of the Perl object tutorials, or maybe the Modern Perl book.

The methods of an object are traditionally documented in the respective class documentation. In your case, that's Path::Class.

<pedantic>To be fair, Path::Class performs some minor misdirection, and the methods of interest are found in Path::Class::Dir and Path::Class::File. But your main point is obviously correct.</pedantic>
