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.
