Subject: WISHLIST: additional methods
The following methods would be nice to have: pathname() - retrieves the pathname used to create the object. It's redundant to create the object, and then have to pass the object plus the pathname used to create it to a subroutine because the info is not accessible. meta_pathname() - pathname for meta file (does not mean it exists, just the path where one would expect to find it) readme_pathname() - pathname for readme (does not mean it exists, just the path where one would expect to find it)

I agree this may be useful. Show quoted text

I don't think these are. I means making assumptions and not everyone will have the same assumptions. If you want to store such data in the object, then subclass it and you can add anything you like. Graham.
