File::Util version 3.16
=========================
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 by date and subversion)
3.16
Tue Feb 20 14:16:45 CST 2007
Fixed problem with method File::Util::make_dir() when used with
absolute pathnames (path names starting with "/", for example).
Fixed documentation error concerning the File::Util::list_dir method,
specifically regarding the "--pattern" option flag.
Method File::Util::make_dir() now enforces the policy of failing when
asked to create a directory that already exists as a file of any kind.
Use the "--if-not-exists" flag if you are counting on the old behavior
or if you want to create directories which could possibly exist already.
More documentation added.

called incorrectly. Modified File::Util::make_dir() to include
the --if-not-exists option.
Fixed a broken test case in "make test" that was causing it to fail
falsely.
More documentation added for various methods whose documentation had
yet to be written.
Releasing this version as an official release and NOT a developer's
release only.
