    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

    Test::Symlink

    File::Util::Test provides some utilities that are symlink-aware, like
    "l_abs_path" and "file_exists".
