This can be useful when using another module that expects a subclass of File::Spec but you want to use the current, native \s-1OS\s0 format (automatically detected by File::Spec). .PP For example: \*(L"as_foreign\*(R" in Path::Class (as of version 0.24) allows you to translate a Path::Class object from one \s-1OS\s0 format to another. However, there is no way to specify that you want to translate the path into the current, native \s-1OS\s0 format without guessing at what that format is (which may include peeking into \f(CW@File::Spec::ISA\fR). .PP This module \f(CW@ISA\fR File::Spec. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" .IP "\(bu" 4 File::Spec .IP "\(bu" 4 Path::Class .IP "\(bu" 4 .SH "SUPPORT" .IX Header "SUPPORT" .SS "Perldoc" .IX Subsection "Perldoc" You can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command. .PP .Vb 1 \& perldoc File::Spec::Native .Ve .SS "Websites" .IX Subsection "Websites" The following websites have more information about this module, and may be of help to you.
