     why:

    New perl module will be uploaded: File::Stat::Bits - stat(2) bit
    mask constants

    Lots of Perl modules use the Unix file permissions and type bits
    directly in binary form with risk of non-portability for some exotic
    bits. Note that the POSIX module does not provides all needed
    constants and I can't wait when the POSIX module will be updated.

    This separate module provides file type/mode bit and more constants
    from sys/stat.ph and sys/sysmacros.ph without pollution caller's
    namespace by other unneeded symbols from these headers.

    This module also should concentrate all portability and
    compatibility issues.

    After the module registering I will suggest authors of some other
    modules (Stat::lsMode, File::chmod, File::Find::Rule and more) to
    use File::Stat:Bits portable constants instead of hardwired binary
    values in their modules.
