# Example comparing File::Spec, Path::Tiny, and File::Path
use File::Spec;
use Path::Tiny;
use File::Path qw(make_path);

# Using File::Spec
my $path_a = File::Spec->catfile('folder', 'subfolder', 'file.txt');

# Using Path::Tiny
my $path_b = path('folder/subfolder/file.txt');

# Using File::Path
make_path('folder/subfolder');

print "Path using File::Spec: $path_a\n";
print "Path using Path::Tiny: $path_b\n";
