NAME
Acme::CPANModules::Symlink - List of modules that deal with symbolic links (symlinks)
VERSION
This document describes version 0.002 of Acme::CPANModules::Symlink (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-Symlink), released on 2023-11-20.
DESCRIPTION
Creating
Perl provides the symlink builtin.
Setup::File::Symlink can create/fix/delete symlink. Part of the Setup module family, the functions in this module are idempotent with transaction/undo support.
Finding
Perl provides the -l operator to test if a file or filehandle is a symbolic link. This performs an lstat() call, which unlike stat() can detect if a handle is symbolic link.
Testing
File::Util::Test provides some utilities that are symlink-aware, like l_abs_path and file_exists.
Other utilities
File::Symlink::Relative creates relative symbolic links.
File::Symlink::Util provides utility routines related to symlinks.
More specific utilities
short (from App::short).
lntree (from <pm:App::lntree) to create a mirror based on symlinks.
Windows symlinks

% cpanm-cpanmodules -n SymlinkAlternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules distribution):
% cpanmodules ls-entries Symlink | cpanm -nor Acme::CM::Get:
% perl -MAcme::CM::Get=Symlink -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -nor directly:
% perl -MAcme::CPANModules::Symlink -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::Symlink::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -nThis Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful result for lcpan related-mods command when it comes to finding related modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module.

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -lIf you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
