NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitFiletest_rwxRWX - Prohibit file access tests.

AFFILIATION

This Policy is stand-alone, and is not part of the core Perl::Critic.

DESCRIPTION

This policy prohibits the file access tests -r, -w, -x, -R, -W, and -X. All these do by default is to check the file's access control bits. Access to a file can succeed or fail for other reasons such as the presence of Access Control Lists (ACLs), a file system being mounted read-only, or an executable being corrupt.

This policy is under the "bugs" theme, with low severity.

CONFIGURATION

This Policy has no configuration options.
