NAME

TDirEntry - directory entry record used by standard dialogs

SYNOPSIS

use TUI::StdDlg;

my $entry = TDirEntry->new(
  displayText => 'etc',
  directory   => '/etc'
);

my $text = $entry->text;
my $dir  = $entry->dir;

DESCRIPTION

TDirEntry represents a single directory entry used by the standard dialog subsystem. It is a lightweight data object that stores the display text and the associated directory path.

This class is not derived from TObject and does not participate in the view hierarchy. It exists solely as a structured data container and is used by collections and list boxes to represent directory items.
