podpathFAQ
What is the purpose of this distribution? Haven't other utilities existed?
For example, mpath in Module::Path distribution, mversion in Module::Version distribution, etc.
True. The main point of these utilities is shell tab completion, to save typing.
In shell completion, why do you use / (slash) instead of :: (double colon) as it should be?
If you type module name which doesn't contain any ::, / will be used as namespace separator. Otherwise if you already type ::, it will use ::.
Colon is problematic because by default it is a word breaking character in bash. This means, in this command:
% pmpath Text:<tab>bash is completing a new word (empty string), and in this:
% pmpath Text::ANSITabl<tab>bash is completing ANSITabl instead of what we want Text::ANSITabl.
The solution is to use quotes, e.g.
% pmpath "Text:<tab>
% pmpath 'Text:<tab>or, use /.
