Revision history for Test-Permissions
0.001.0 Wed Sep 30 10:32:18 AM EDT 2026
First version, taken from App-makefilepl2cpanfile's private
t/lib/Test/Permissions.pm and extended:
Seven kinds of access: read, write, create, search, exec, delete and
sticky. create is what the private helper called can_revoke_write;
can_revoke_write now checks a file's own write bit
Probe the directory the caller names (default File::Spec->tmpdir),
and cache per kind, canonical directory, effective uid and groups;
set_cache_scope('device') shares answers across a device
Every probe checks a baseline, checks that chmod really changed the
mode, and counts only EACCES or EPERM as denied
why_not() gives the reason for a 0 answer; skip_unless_can_revoke()
skips a SKIP block with it, natively under Test2::V0
acl_denies() finds an ACL (or similar) that denies access the mode
bits allow
with_revoked() takes access away for the length of a block and always
restores the mode
permissions_report() describes the environment, for diag()
Works under taint mode (perl -T)
Probes never die or warn, restore modes and leave nothing behind
Messages can be translated with set_messages()
Needs perl 5.26, because Params::Validate::Strict does
