perl-File-Save-Home (Place file safely under user home directory).

File::Save::Home - Place file safely under user home directory.
|
|
|
|
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.
