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. |
