NAME

ARGV::Abs - Transform paths in @ARGV to absolute paths

VERSION

version 1.01

SYNOPSIS

From one-liners (see perlrun):

perl -MARGV::Abs -E "..." foo.txt bar.txt ...

From a script where all arguments are expected to be filenames:

use ARG::Abs;
...

From a script that takes command-line options that should not be processed by ARGV::Abs :

# Skipping import
use ARGV::Abs ();

... extract options from @ARGV ...

# Transform paths: do import now
ARGV::Abs->import;

Resolve relative paths using base directory /tmp:

perl -MARGV::Abs=/tmp -E "..." foo.txt bar.txt ...

use ARGV::Abs '/tmp';

DESCRIPTION

This module transform all elements of @ARGV into absolute pathnames.

Relative paths are resolved by default relative to the current directory. To use another base directory, pass it as the argument for import.

SEE ALSO

Some other modules that add magic to @ARGV: ARGV::URL, ARGV::readonly, Encode::Argv.
