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

    Test::Symlink

    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

    File::LinkTree::Builder

    short (from App::short).

    lntree (from <pm:App::lntree) to create a mirror based on symlinks.

    Windows symlinks

    Win32::NTFS::Symlink
