File::HomeDir::Test(3)User Contributed Perl DocumentatioFile::HomeDir::Test(3)NAME
File::HomeDir::Test - Prevent the accidental creation of user-owned
files during testing
SYNOPSIS
use Test::More test => 1;
use File::HomeDir::Test;
use File::HomeDir;
DESCRIPTION
File::HomeDir::Test is a File::HomeDir driver intended for use in the
test scripts of modules or applications that write files into user-
owned directories.
It is designed to prevent the pollution of user directories with files
that are not part of the application install itself, but were created
during testing. These files can leak state information from the tests
into the run-time usage of an application, and on Unix systems also
prevents tests (which may be executed as root via sudo) from writing
files which cannot later be modified or removed by the regular user.
SUPPORT
See the support section of the main File::HomeDir documentation.
