File::Basename::Object is an object-oriented wrapper around File::Basename. The goal is to allow pathnames to be presented and manipulated easily.

When compared as a string (cmp, ne, eq, etc), its full canonical pathname is compared. When compared using numeric operators (==, !=, etc), the files base name is compared instead. Some methods are also provided:
