NAME

File::HomeDir::Darwin - Find your home and other directories on Darwin (OS X)

DESCRIPTION

This module provides Darwin-specific implementations for determining common user directories. In normal usage this module will always be used via File::HomeDir.

Note -- since this module requires Mac::Carbon and Mac::Carbon does not work with 64-bit perls, on such systems, File::HomeDir will try File::HomeDir::Darwin::Cocoa and then fall back to the (pure Perl) File::HomeDir::Darwin.

SYNOPSIS

use File::HomeDir;

# Find directories for the current user
$home    = File::HomeDir->my_home;      # /Users/mylogin
$desktop = File::HomeDir->my_desktop;   # /Users/mylogin/Desktop
$docs    = File::HomeDir->my_documents; # /Users/mylogin/Documents
$music   = File::HomeDir->my_music;     # /Users/mylogin/Music
$pics    = File::HomeDir->my_pictures;  # /Users/mylogin/Pictures
$videos  = File::HomeDir->my_videos;    # /Users/mylogin/Movies
$data    = File::HomeDir->my_data;      # /Users/mylogin/Library/Application Support

TODO

  • Test with Mac OS (versions 7, 8, 9)

  • Some better way for users_* ?
