+=head1 NAME
+
+File::Spec::Mac - File::Spec for MacOS
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+C<require File::Spec::Mac;>
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Methods for manipulating file specifications.
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+=over 2
+
+=item canonpath
+
+On MacOS, there's nothing to be done. Returns what it's given.
+
+=cut
+
+sub canonpath {
+ my($self,$path) = @_;
+ $path;
+}
+
+=item catdir
+
+Concatenate two or more directory names to form a complete path ending with
+a directory. Put a trailing : on the end of the complete path if there
+isn't one, because that's what's done in MacPerl's environment.
+
+The fundamental requirement of this routine is that
+
+ File::Spec->catdir(split(":",$path)) eq $path
+
+But because of the nature of Macintosh paths, some additional
+possibilities are allowed to make using this routine give resonable results
+for some common situations. Here are the rules that are used. Each
+argument has its trailing ":" removed. Each argument, except the first,
+has its leading ":" removed. They are then joined together by a ":".
+
+So
+
+ File::Spec->catdir("a","b") = "a:b:"
+ File::Spec->catdir("a:",":b") = "a:b:"
+ File::Spec->catdir("a:","b") = "a:b:"
+ File::Spec->catdir("a",":b") = "a:b"
+ File::Spec->catdir("a","","b") = "a::b"
+
+etc.
+
+To get a relative path (one beginning with :), begin the first argument with :
+or put a "" as the first argument.
+
+If you don't want to worry about these rules, never allow a ":" on the ends
+of any of the arguments except at the beginning of the first.
+
+Under MacPerl, there is an additional ambiguity. Does the user intend that
+
+ File::Spec->catfile("LWP","Protocol","http.pm")
+
+be relative or absolute? There's no way of telling except by checking for the
+existance of LWP: or :LWP, and even there he may mean a dismounted volume or
+a relative path in a different directory (like in @INC). So those checks
+aren't done here. This routine will treat this as absolute.
+

+sub catdir {
+ shift;
+ my @args = @_;
+ $args[0] =~ s/:$//;
+ my $result = shift @args;
+ for (@args) {
+ s/:$//;
+ s/^://;
+ $result .= ":$_";
+ }
+ $result .= ":";
+ $result;
+}
+
+=item catfile
+
+Concatenate one or more directory names and a filename to form a
+complete path ending with a filename. Since this uses catdir, the
+same caveats apply. Note that the leading : is removed from the filename,
+so that
+
+ File::Spec->catfile($ENV{HOME},"file");
+
+and
+
+ File::Spec->catfile($ENV{HOME},":file");
+
+give the same answer, as one might expect.
+

+sub catfile {
+ my $self = shift @_;
+ my $file = pop @_;
+ return $file unless @_;
+ my $dir = $self->catdir(@_);
+ $file =~ s/^://;
+ return $dir.$file;
+}
+
+=item curdir
+
+Returns a string representing of the current directory.
+
+=cut
+
+sub curdir {
+ return ":" ;
+}
+
+=item rootdir
+
+Returns a string representing the root directory. Under MacPerl,
+returns the name of the startup volume, since that's the closest in
+concept, although other volumes aren't rooted there. On any other
+platform returns '', since there's no common way to indicate "root
+directory" across all Macs.
+
+=cut
+
+sub rootdir {
+#
+# There's no real root directory on MacOS. If you're using MacPerl,
+# the name of the startup volume is returned, since that's the closest in
+# concept. On other platforms, simply return '', because nothing better
+# can be done.
+#
+ if($Is_Mac) {
+ require Mac::Files;
+ my $system = Mac::Files::FindFolder(&Mac::Files::kOnSystemDisk,
+ &Mac::Files::kSystemFolderType);
+ $system =~ s/:.*$/:/;
+ return $system;
+ } else {
+ return '';
+ }
+}
+
+=item updir
+
+Returns a string representing the parent directory.
+
+=cut
+
+sub updir {
+ return "::";
+}
+
+=item file_name_is_absolute
+
+Takes as argument a path and returns true, if it is an absolute path. In
+the case where a name can be either relative or absolute (for example, a
+folder named "HD" in the current working directory on a drive named "HD"),
+relative wins. Use ":" in the appropriate place in the path if you want to
+distinguish unambiguously.
+
+=cut
+
+sub file_name_is_absolute {
+ my($self,$file) = @_;
+ if ($file =~ /:/) {
+ return ($file !~ m/^:/);
+ } else {
+ return (! -e ":$file");
+ }
+}
+
+=item path
+
+Returns the null list for the MacPerl application, since the concept is
+usually meaningless under MacOS. But if you're using the MacPerl tool under
+MPW, it gives back $ENV{Commands} suitably split, as is done in
+:lib:ExtUtils:MM_Mac.pm.
+
+=cut

+sub path {
+#
+# The concept is meaningless under the MacPerl application.
+# Under MPW, it has a meaning.
+#
+ my($self) = @_;
+ my @path;
+ if(exists $ENV{Commands}) {
+ @path = split /,/,$ENV{Commands};
+ } else {
