Perl provides the `symlink` builtin.

<pm: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**

<pm:Test::Symlink>

<pm:File::Util::Test> provides some utilities that are symlink-aware, like
`l_abs_path` and `file_exists`.

=head1 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 -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your
system), you can install L<Dist::Zilla>,
L<Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR>,
L<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.
