Add $scalar->path to turn make a Path::Tiny object from $scalar. #247

Closed schwern closed 11 years ago

For #229

This is a very basic implementation. There's lots we can add to Path::Tiny which can come later.

The load time of Path::Tiny is up to 25% of perl5i, so we must load it on demand.

I benchmarked the cost of "require Path::Tiny" every time and it came out to be a significant difference for object construction.

The docs are very understated for what impact on the ease of file manipulation this has.

Path::Tiny has some useful class methods. cwd, rootdir, tempfile and tempdir. There's no way to access them through perl5i, you have to use Path::Tiny directly. This is less than ideal, but ok for now.
