Subject: strip convenience function
Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2011 20:10:51 -0600
To: bugs-path-class [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Caleb Cushing <xenoterracide [...] gmail.com>
my generalized problem is I have a Path::Class object with a path of /foo/bar/baz . but I need to modify the path of the object to be /bar/baz . It's been suggested that I create export the path to an array, and then shift the first element off, and create a new object from that array. This sounds like it will work but seems tedious. GNU tar (yes I realize this isn't gnu tar) has an argument --strip-components=N where N is the number of path components you want to strip off the front. I'm not really sure if the API should be $dir->strip(1); or something else. but it seems to me like that would be much nicer than what's been suggested. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.com

I think maybe a more general solution would be to add push(), pop(), shift(), and unshift() methods. And maybe splice().

that's possible, I'm not really picky on the end API, I just thought maybe this could be done cleaner. p.s. do you prefer bug reports here or google issues? -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.com

Probably best here on RT, I don't check the google queue much. Thanks.
