File::Util
=========================

DESCRIPTION
File::Util provides a comprehensive toolbox of utilities to automate all
kinds of common tasks on file / directories.  Its purpose is to do so
in the most portable manner possible so that users of this module won't
have to worry about whether their programs will work on other OSes
and machines.


CHANGES IN LAST FEW RELEASES
(listed in reverse chronological order, excluding development releases)

      Fixed bug where list_dir() did not continue to recurse if it encountered
      an error while running with the --fatals-as-warning flag.  If running
      in default mode, it is normal behavior for File::Util to abort execution
      on error, but when running with --fatals-as-warning flag, such errors
      should not have caused recursion to fail.  (CPAN RT# 52319)

      Changed the brackets surrounding error messages to "<<" and ">>" so that
      the glyphs display in most terminals.

      Modified/updated documentation and test suite to accomodate these new
      changes.

   2.28
      Sat Sep 29 17:38:47 CDT 2012
      Adding a patch to fix breakage under Perl 5.17 (CPAN RT#31013)

      Fix spelling error in documentation and code comments (CPAN RT# #64854)
