Test::Trap::Builder::SystemSafe(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::Trap::Builder::SystemSafe(3) NAME
Test::Trap::Builder::SystemSafe - "Safe" output layer backend using File::Temp VERSION
Version 0.2.3 DESCRIPTION
This module provides an implementation systemsafe, based on File::Temp, for the trap's output layers. This implementation insists on reopening the output file handles with the same descriptors, and therefore, unlike Test::Trap::Builder::TempFile and Test::Trap::Builder::PerlIO, is able to trap output from forked-off processes, including system(). See also Test::Trap (:stdout and :stderr) and Test::Trap::Builder (output_layer). CAVEATS
Using File::Temp, we need privileges to create tempfiles. We need disk space for the output of every trap (it should clean up after the trap is sprung). Disk access may be slow -- certainly compared to the in-memory files of PerlIO. If the file handle we try to trap using this backend is on an in-memory file, it would not be available to other processes in any case. Rather than change the semantics of the trapped code or silently fail to trap output from forked-off processes, we just raise an exception in this case. If there is another file handle with the same descriptor (f ex after an "open OTHER, '>&=', THIS"), we can't get that file descriptor. Rather than silently fail, we again raise an exception. Threads? No idea. It might even work correctly. BUGS
