Hello,
I have a entry in my directory that is a soft-link to another directory.
Is there a way in perl to get, starting from the link, the path of the
real directory ?
Thanks
Andreas
See:
perldoc -f readlink http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/readlink.html
perldoc -f symlink http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/symlink.html
perldoc perlfunc and search for /-l File is a symbolic link/

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
Eliminate software piracy: use only FLOSS.
