244 This module's default exports override the core stat()
245 and lstat() functions, replacing them with versions that return
246 "File::stat" objects. This object has methods that
247 return the similarly named structure field name from the
248 stat(2) function; namely,
264 As of version 1.02 (provided with perl 5.12) the object provides C<"-X">
265 overloading, so you can call filetest operators (C<-f>, C<-x>, and so
266 on) on it. It also provides a C<< ->cando >> method, called like
268 $st->cando( ACCESS, EFFECTIVE )
270 where I<ACCESS> is one of C<S_IRUSR>, C<S_IWUSR> or C<S_IXUSR> from the
271 L<Fcntl|Fcntl> module, and I<EFFECTIVE> indicates whether to use
272 effective (true) or real (false) ids. The method interprets the C<mode>,
273 C<uid> and C<gid> fields, and returns whether or not the current process
274 would be allowed the specified access.
276 If you don't want to use the objects, you may import the C<< ->cando >>
277 method into your namespace as a regular function called C<stat_cando>.
278 This takes an arrayref containing the return values of C<stat> or
279 C<lstat> as its first argument, and interprets it for you.
281 You may also import all the structure fields directly into your namespace
282 as regular variables using the :FIELDS import tag. (Note that this still
283 overrides your stat() and lstat() functions.) Access these fields as
284 variables named with a preceding C<st_> in front their method names.
285 Thus, C<$stat_obj-E<gt>dev()> corresponds to $st_dev if you import
288 To access this functionality without the core overrides,
289 pass the C<use> an empty import list, and then access
290 function functions with their full qualified names.
291 On the other hand, the built-ins are still available
292 via the C<CORE::> pseudo-package.
296 As of Perl 5.8.0 after using this module you cannot use the implicit
297 C<$_> or the special filehandle C<_> with stat() or lstat(), trying
298 to do so leads into strange errors. The workaround is for C<$_> to
301 my $stat_obj = stat $_;
303 and for C<_> to explicitly populate the object using the unexported
304 and undocumented populate() function with CORE::stat():
306 my $stat_obj = File::stat::populate(CORE::stat(_));
312 =item -%s is not implemented on a File::stat object
314 The filetest operators C<-t>, C<-T> and C<-B> are not implemented, as
315 they require more information than just a stat buffer.
321 These can all be disabled with
323 no warnings "File::stat";
327 =item File::stat ignores use filetest 'access'
329 You have tried to use one of the C<-rwxRWX> filetests with C<use
330 filetest 'access'> in effect. C<File::stat> will ignore the pragma, and
331 just use the information in the C<mode> member as usual.
333 =item File::stat ignores VMS ACLs
335 VMS systems have a permissions structure that cannot be completely
336 represented in a stat buffer, and unlike on other systems the builtin
337 filetest operators respect this. The C<File::stat> overloads, however,
338 do not, since the information required is not available.
344 While this class is currently implemented using the Class::Struct
345 module to build a struct-like class, you shouldn't rely upon this.
