Class IO:Path currently has many methods for handling path name. The
list currently includes:
method abspath
method basename
method extension
method dirname
method volume
method parts
method path
method Str
I would like to see a new method named, say, stemname, which would be
similar to basename except any suffix is removed.
# existing method: basename
> say IO::Path.new("docs/README.pod").basename;
README.pod
# existing method: extension
> say IO::Path.new("docs/README.pod").extension;
pod
# new method: stemname
> say IO::Path.new("docs/README.pod").stemname;
README
# updated old method: parts
> say IO::Path.new("docs/README.pod").parts.perl;
{:basename("README.pod"), :directory("doc"), :dirname("doc"),
:volume(""), :basename("README.pod"); :stemname("README")}
Best regards,
-Tom
