=head1 NAME
File::Slurp::WithinPolicy - Applies filesystem policies to File::Slurp
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use File::Slurp::WithinPolicy qw(:all);
my $text = read_file( 'filename' );
my @lines = read_file( 'filename' );
write_file( 'filename', $text );
append_file( 'filename', $more_text );
overwrite_file( 'filename', $text );
my @files = read_dir( '/path/to/dir' );
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This provides the File::Slurp interface within a policy defined by File::Policy.
By default, File::Policy is a no-op and this behaves identically to File::Slurp.
System administrators may want to override the default File::Policy implementation to enforce a local filesystem policy
(see L<File::Policy>).
