Catmandu::Util::Path - Path related utility functions

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=over 4

=item looks_like_path($str)

Returns 1 if the given string is a path, 0 otherwise.  Only recognizes
L<Catmandu::Path::simple> paths prefixed with a dollar sign at the moment.

    looks_like_path("$.foo.bar.$append")
    # => 1
    looks_like_path("waffles")
    # => 0

=item as_path($str, $type)

Helper function that returns a L<Catmandu::Path> instance for the given path
string.  The optional C<$type> argument gives preliminary support for
alternative path implementations and defaults to 'simple'.

    as_path("$.foo.bar.$append")
    # is equivalent to
    Catmandu::Path::simple->new(path => "$.foo.bar.$append");
