NAME

   Path::ExpandTilde - Expand tilde (~) to homedir in file paths

SYNOPSIS

     use Path::ExpandTilde;
     my $homedir = expand_tilde('~');
     my $bashrc = expand_tilde('~/.bashrc');
     my $pg_home = expand_tilde('~postgres');

DESCRIPTION

   This module uses bsd_glob from File::Glob to portably expand a leading
   tilde (~) in a file path into the current or specified user's home
   directory. No other glob metacharacters are expanded.

FUNCTIONS

expand_tilde

     my $new_path = expand_tilde($path);

   Exported by default. If the path starts with ~, expands that to the
   current user's home directory. If the path starts with ~username,
   expands that to the specified user's home directory. If the user
   doesn't exist, no expansion is done. The returned path is canonicalized
   as by "canonpath" in File::Spec either way.

NOTES

   The algorithm should be portable to most operating systems supported by
   Perl, though the home directory may not be found by bsd_glob on some.

BUGS

   Report any issues on the public bugtracker.
