In the course of deploying an application on another user's system,
|
|
|
|
|
you sometimes need to place a file in or underneath that user's home
|
|
|
|
|
directory. Can you do so safely?

This Perl extension provides several functions which try to determine
|
|
|
|
|
whether you can, indeed, safely create directories and files underneath
|
|
|
|
|
a user's home directory.

Among other things, if you are placing a file in such a location only
|
|
|
|
|
temporarily -- say, for testing purposes -- you can temporarily hide any
|
|
|
|
|
already existing file with the same name and restore it to its original
|
|
|
|
|
name and timestamps when you are done.
