This defines the policy for file I/O with modules such as
|
||
|
|
File::Slurp::WithinPolicy. The purpose is to allow systems administrators to
|
||
|
|
define locations and restrictions for applications' file I/O and give app
|
||
|
|
developers a policy to follow. Note that the module doesn't ENFORCE the
|
||
|
|
policy - application developers can choose to ignore it
|
||
|
|
(and systems administrators can choose not to install their applications
|
||
|
|
if they do!).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You may control which policy gets applied by creating a File::Policy::Config
|
||
|
|
module with an IMPLEMENTATION constant. You may write your own policy as a
|
||
|
|
module within the File::Policy:: namespace.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default (if no File::Policy::Config is present), the File::Policy::Default
|
||
|
|
policy gets applied which doesn't impose any restrictions and provides
|
||
|
|
reasonable default locations for temporary and log files.
