QUICK START:

Install File::Policy by unpacking the tarball and running the following commands in the source directory:

        perl Makefile.PL
        make
        make test
        make install
        Then delete the source directory tree since it's no longer needed.

        By using File::Policy (or File::Slurp::WithinPolicy) in your code you get File::Policy::Default by, erm, default.  
        This imposes no restrictions on filepaths, but does provide reasonable default temp and log dirs for you.  
        See the POD for File::Policy::Default to see how these paths are determined.

        To implement your own custom policy
          cp File/Policy/Default.pm File/Policy/YourPolicy.pm
        and modify YourPolicy accordingly.
        
        Then, create a file File/Policy/Config.pm with:
        
          use constant IMPLEMENTATION => 'YourPolicy';

        run 'perldoc File::Policy' to read the full documentation.

SAMPLE

See samples/lib/File/Policy/Simple.pm for an example of a custom policy.

DEPENDENCIES

Pod::Test and Pod::Test::Coverage are used by two of the unit tests if present - otherwise these 2 tests should skip gracefully. Tests require Test::Assertions and Log::Trace which is why these are listed in the PREREQ_PM in Makefile.PL.
