This document describes version 0.002 of Filename::Executable (from Perl distribution Filename-Executable), released on 2023-12-16.
use Filename::Executable qw(check_executable_filename); my $res = check_executable_filename(filename => "foo.sh"); if ($res) { printf "File is an executable (type: %s, ext: %s)\n", $res->{exec_type}, $res->{exec_ext}; } else { print "File is not an executable\n"; }
Usage:
check_executable_filename(%args) -> bool|hash
Check whether filename indicates being an executable program/script.
Examples:
Example #1:
check_executable_filename(filename => "foo.pm"); # -> 0

check_executable_filename(filename => "foo.appimage");
Result:
{ exec_ext => ".appimage", exec_name => "foo", exec_type => "appimage" }
Case-insensitive by default:
check_executable_filename(filename => "foo.Appimage");
{ exec_ext => ".Appimage", exec_name => "foo", exec_type => "appimage" }
Case-sensitive:
check_executable_filename(filename => "foo.Appimage", ignore_case => 0); # -> 0
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
