NAME

Path::Resolver::Role::FileResolver - a resolver that natively finds absolute file paths

VERSION

version 3.100455

SYNOPSIS

The FileResolver role is a specialized form of the Resolver role, and can be used in its place. (Anything that does the FileResolver role automatically does the Resolver role, too.)

FileResolver classes have a native type of Path::Resolver::Types::AbsFilePath (from Path::Resolver::Types). Basically, they will natively return a Path::Class::File pointing to an absolute file path.

FileResolver classes also have a default converter that will convert the AbsFilePath to a Path::Resolver::SimpleEntity, meaning that by default a FileResolver's entity_at will return a SimpleEntity. This entity will be constructed by reading the file in raw mode. In other words, it is the byte string contents of the file, not any decoded character string. If you want to a Unicode string of a file's contents, you must decode it yourself.

PERL VERSION

This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should work on any version of perl released in the last five years.

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.
