NAME

     filetest - Perl pragma to control the filetest permission
     operators



SYNOPSIS
         $can_perhaps_read = -r "file";      # use the mode bits
         {
             use filetest 'access';          # intuit harder
             $can_really_read = -r "file";
         }
         $can_perhaps_read = -r "file";      # use the mode bits again




DESCRIPTION
     This pragma tells the compiler to change the behaviour of
     the filetest permissions operators, the `-r' `-w' `-x' `-R'
     `-W' `-X' (see the perlfunc manpage).

     The default behaviour to use the mode bits as returned by
     the stat() family of calls.  This, however, may not be the
     right thing to do if for example various ACL (access control
     lists) schemes are in use.  For such environments, `use
     filetest' may help the permission operators to return
     results more consistent with other tools.

     Each "use filetest" or "no filetest" affects statements to
     the end of the enclosing block.

     There may be a slight performance decrease in the filetests
     when `use filetest' is in effect, because in some systems
     the extended functionality needs to be emulated.

     NOTE: using the file tests for security purposes is a lost
     cause from the start: there is a window open for race
     conditions (who is to say that the permissions will not
     change between the test and the real operation?).  Therefore
     if you are serious about security, just try the real
     operation and test for its success.  Think atomicity.

     subpragma access

     Currently only one subpragma, `access' is implemented.  It
     enables (or disables) the use of access() or similar system
     calls.  This extended filetest functionality is used only
     when the argument of the operators is a filename, not when
     it is a filehandle.
