DESCRIPTION

ACL::Lite is a simple permission checker without any prerequisites.

ACL stands for "Access Control Lists".

uid

permissions

Granted permissions.

separator

check $permissions, $uid

Checks whether any of the permissions in $permissions is granted. Returns first permission which grants access.

permissions

Returns permissions as hash reference:


            

              
              
$perms = $acl->permissions;

Returns permissions as list:
