NAME

File::Slurp::WithinPolicy - Applies filesystem policies to File::Slurp

SYNOPSIS

  use File::Slurp::WithinPolicy qw(:all);

  my $text = read_file( 'filename' );
  my @lines = read_file( 'filename' );
  write_file( 'filename', $text );
  append_file( 'filename', $more_text );
  overwrite_file( 'filename', $text );
  my @files = read_dir( '/path/to/dir' );

DESCRIPTION

This provides the File::Slurp interface within a policy defined by File::Policy. By default, File::Policy is a no-op and this behaves identically to File::Slurp. System administrators may want to override the default File::Policy implementation to enforce a local filesystem policy (see the File::Policy manpage).
