| Summary : Provides a general framework for access to a hierarchical data structure
|
Description :
The goal of the File::System module is to provide a very general framework for
providing access to a heirarchical data structure. Each member of this data
structure has a set of properties and is marked as containing \"content\" and/or
as a \"container\". Something that only provides content is analogous to a file.
Something that only contains other things is analogous to a directory. However,
this framework doesn\'t exclude the possibility that a thing could have the
features of both.
These features are important if one wishes to make a non-filesystem interface
appear as such. For example, this system allows for the possibility of an
LDAP-accessible database or RDBMS being used as if they were file systems. This
might seem a little senseless at first, but if we wish to provide a system for
mapping a VFS like this to URLs for web or other purposes, it begins to make
more sense.
