NAME
File::Path::Expand - expand filenames
SYNOPSIS
use File::Path::Expand;
print expand_filename("~richardc/foo"); # prints "/home/richardc/foo"
DESCRIPTION
File::Path::Expand expands user directories in filenames. For the simple case it's no more complex than s{^~/}{$HOME/}, but for other
cases it consults "getpwent" and does the right thing.
