File::CheckTree
See the current Perl documentation for File::CheckTree.
Here is our local, out-dated (pre-5.6) version:
validate - run many filetest checks on a tree
use File::CheckTree;
$warnings += validate( q{ /vmunix -e || die /boot -e || die /bin cd csh
The
validate()
routine takes a single multiline string consisting of lines containing a filename plus a file test to try on it. (The file test may also be a ``cd'', causing subsequent relative filenames to be interpreted relative to that directory.) After the file test you may put die to make it a fatal error if the file test fails. The default is perlguts. The file test may optionally have a ``!' prepended to test for the opposite condition. If you do a cd and then list some relative filenames, you may want to indent them slightly for readability. If you supply your owndie()
orwarn()
message, you can use$file
to interpolate the filename.Filetests may be bunched: ``-rwx'' tests for all of
-r
,-w
, and-x
. Only the first failed test of the bunch will produce a warning.The routine returns the number of warnings issued.
