Is there some function that returns the parent directory of a file in Perl?

Use File 's getParentFile() method and String. lastIndexOf() to retrieve just the immediate parent directory.
The dirname() method in Perl is used to get the directory of the folder name of a file.
With a directory, a parent directory is a directory containing the current directory. For example, in the MS-DOS path below, the "Windows" directory is the parent directory of the "System32" directory, and C:\ is the root directory.
There is no way to go to the parent folder right out of the search results, as that is not how it operates, however if you double-click on the quick launch search result, resulting in navigating to the folder, then press alt+up then it will go to the parent folder.
If you have a path name, you can use the dirname function from File::Basename.
use File::Basename;
my $directory = dirname( $path );
What do you have as input?
