rightway from US.pm

[Intrepid]

Let it be more convenient to use the 3rd-party unix-like sh shells with/from Win32-ish Perls.

This code is written as a module so that it is convenient to use from the command line. See the SYNOPSIS section in the embedded POD, below.

package US;
use strict;
use warnings;
use vars qw($VERSION @ISA @EXPORT);
sub rightway;

$VERSION ='0.01';
use base 'Exporter';
@EXPORT  = ('rightway');

=head1 NAME

US.pm - correct slash orientation in file path specs from native Win32
+ to Perl-canonical form.

=head1 VERSION

This documentation describes version B<0.01> of US.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use US;
  use Win32;
  use File::Glob 'bsd_glob';
  {
      local $\ = "\n";
      print for glob(
         rightway Win32::GetShortPathName(Win32::GetFolderPath(Win32::
+CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS))
       . "/*") ;
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Makes it more convenient to use the 3rd-party unix-like sh shells with
+/from Win32-ish Perls.

"US" as a name was not chosen with a nationalistic or xenophobic inten
+tion. The author
expects to use this code mainly from the commandline (in "1-liners" as
+ we say in Perl),
and as such a short, easy to remember name is a matter of convenience.
+ Ok? "U"=="Unix",
"S"=="Slash". Thus, "US.pm".
