File::Util ========================= DESCRIPTION File::Util provides a comprehensive toolbox of utilities to automate all kinds of common tasks on file / directories. Its purpose is to do so in the most portable manner possible so that users of this module won't have to worry about whether their programs will work on other OSes and machines. CHANGES IN LAST FEW RELEASES (listed in reverse chronological order by date and subversion) 2.29 Wed Oct 17 09:38:36 CDT 2012 Fixed bug where list_dir() did not continue to recurse if it encountered an error while running with the --fatals-as-warning flag. If running in default mode, it is normal behavior for File::Util to abort execution on error, but when running with --fatals-as-warning flag, such errors should not have caused recursion to fail. (CPAN RT# 52319) Changed the brackets surrounding error messages to "<<" and ">>" so that the glyphs display in most terminals. Modified/updated documentation and test suite to accomodate these new changes. 2.28 Sat Sep 29 17:38:47 CDT 2012 Adding a patch to fix breakage under Perl 5.17 (CPAN RT#31013) Fix spelling error in documentation and code comments (CPAN RT# #64854) INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install On windows machines use nmake rather than make; those running cygwin don't have to worry about this. If you don't know what cygwin is, use nmake and check out after you're done installing this module if you want to find out.
