15 File::HomeDir::Test is a File::HomeDir driver intended for use in the
16 test scripts of modules or applications that write files into user-
17 owned directories.
18
19 It is designed to prevent the pollution of user directories with files
20 that are not part of the application install itself, but were created
21 during testing. These files can leak state information from the tests
22 into the run-time usage of an application, and on Unix systems also
23 prevents tests (which may be executed as root via sudo) from writing
24 files which cannot later be modified or removed by the regular user.
