validate - run many filetest checks on a tree
use File::CheckTree;
$warnings += validate( q{
/vmunix -e || die
/boot -e || die
/bin cd
csh -ex
csh !-ug
sh -ex
sh !-ug
/usr -d || warn "What happened to $file?\n"
});
The validate() routine takes a single multiline string consisting of
lines containing a filename plus a file test to try on it. (The
file test may also be a ``cd'', causing subsequent relative filenames
to be interpreted relative to that directory.) After the file test
you may put || die to make it a fatal error if the file test fails.
The default is || warn. The file test may optionally have a ``!' prepended
to test for the opposite condition. If you do a cd and then list some
relative filenames, you may want to indent them slightly for readability.
If you supply your own die() or warn() message, you can use $file to
interpolate the filename.
Filetests may be bunched: ``-rwx'' tests for all of -r, -w, and -x.
Only the first failed test of the bunch will produce a warning.
The routine returns the number of warnings issued.
