SYNOPSIS

12           use Test::More;
13
14           plan skip_all => "Only for the module maintainer" unless $ENV{AUTHOR_TESTS};
15           plan skip_all => "Test::Portability::Files required for testing filenames portability"
16               unless eval "use Test::Portability::Files; 1";
17
18           options(all_tests => 1);  # to be hyper-strict

DESCRIPTION

22       This module is used to check the portability across operating systems
23       of the names of the files present in the distribution of a module.  The
24       tests use the advices given in "Files and Filesystems" in perlport.
25       The author of a distribution can select which tests to execute.
26
27       To use this module, simply copy the code from the synopsis in a test
28       file named t/portfs.t for example, and add it to your MANIFEST.  You
29       can delete the call to "options()" to enable only most common tests.
30
31       By default, not all tests are enabled because some are judged too
32       cumbersome to be practical, especially since some of the most limited
33       platforms (like MS-DOS) seem to be no longer supported.  Here are the
34       default options:
35
36       •   "use_file_find" is not enabled (check only the names as listed in
37           MANIFEST)
38
39       •   "test_amiga_length" is not enabled
40
41       •   "test_ansi_chars" is enabled
42
43       •   "test_case" is enabled
44
45       •   "test_dos_length" is not enabled
46
47       •   "test_mac_length" is not enabled
48
49       •   "test_one_dot" is enabled
50
51       •   "test_space" is enabled
52
53       •   "test_special_chars" is enabled
54
55       •   "test_symlink" is enabled
56
57       •   "test_vms_length" is enabled
58
59       •   "test_windows_reserved" is enabled
60
61       To change any option, please see "options()".

76
77           •   "use_file_find" - set to 1 to check all the files in the
78               current hierarchy using "File::Find" instead of only checking

80

82
83           •   "all_tests" - select all tests.

90               perlport.
91
92           •   "test_case" - check that the name of the file does not clash
93               with the name of another file on case-insensitive filesystems.
94
95           •   "test_dir_noext" - check that the directory has no extension.
96
97           •   "test_dos_length" - check that the name fits within DOS name
98               length limitations (8 characters max for the base name, 3
99               characters max for the extension).
100
101           •   "test_mac_length" - check that the name fits within Mac OS
102               Classic name length limitations (31 characters).
103
104           •   "test_one_dot" - check that the name only has one dot.
105
106           •   "test_space" - check that the name has nos space.
107
108           •   "test_special_chars" - check that the name does not use special

110
111           •   "test_symlink" - check that the file is not a symbolic link.
112
113           •   "test_vms_length" - check that the name fits within VMS name
114               length limitations (39 characters max for the base name, 39
115               characters max for the extension).
116
117               "test_windows_reserved" - check that the file name is not one
118               of the reserved Windows filenames that correspond to character
119               devices, such as con or com1.
120
121           Example
122
123               options(use_file_find => 1, all_tests => 1);
124
125           selects all tests and runs them against all files found using
126           "File::Find".
127
128       "test_name_portability()"
129           Test the portability of the given file name.
130
131       "run_tests()"
132           Execute the tests selected by "options()".
