Undo monad for permission changes

[ghenry]

Just thinking if this is a good idea or not.

I am implementing a Command Line tool called create_dovecot_shares, to help in creating Dovecot Shared Folders, which will create lots of symlinks in a Maildir and change the permissions of lots of folders/files.

What I am planning to do is use Storable to save all the changes I have made via a HoH, with a history of 10 runs.

With the --restore option, it will rollback the changes, e.g. --restore 5, which put the perms back to 5 runs ago.

Is this a sane thing to do I wonder?

Gavin.

Sounds great, from a user perspective.

I suspect you'll go insane during the implementation, however. ;-)
