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.
