=head1 NAME  

Stat::lsMode - format file modes like the C<ls -l> command does

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Stat::lsMode;

  $mode = (stat $file)[2];
  $permissions = format_mode($mode);
  # $permissions is now something like  `drwxr-xr-x'

  $permissions = file_mode($file);   # Same as above

  $permissions = format_perms(0644); # Produces just 'rw-r--r--'

  $permissions = format_perms(644);  # This generates a warning message:
  # mode 644 is very surprising.  Perhaps you meant 0644...

  Stat::lsMode->novice(0);           # Disable warning messages

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Stat::lsMode> generates mode and permission strings that look like
the ones generated by the Unix C<ls -l> command.  For example, a
regular file that is readable by everyone and writable only by its
owner has the mode string C<-rw-r--r-->.  C<Stat::lsMode> will either
examine the file and produce the right mode string for you, or you can
pass it the mode that you get back from Perl's C<stat> call.

=head2 C<format_mode>

Given a mode number (such as the third element of the list returned by
C<stat>), return the appopriate ten-character mode string as it would
have been generated by C<ls -l>.  For example,
consider a directory that is readable and searchable by everyone, and
also writable by its owner.  Such a directory will have mode 040755.
When passed this value, C<format_mode> will return the string
C<drwxr-xr-x>. 

If C<format_mode> is passed a permission number like C<0755>, it will
return a nine-character string insted, with no leading character to
say what the file type is.  For example, C<format_mode(0755)> will
return just C<rwxr-xr-x>, without the leading C<d>.

=head2 C<file_mode>

Given a filename, do C<lstat> on the file to determine the mode, and
return the mode, formatted as above.

=head2 Novice Operation Mode

A common mistake when dealing with permission modes is to use C<644>
where you meant to use C<0644>.  Every permission has a numeric
representation, but the representation only makes sense when you write
the number in octal.  The decimal number 644 corresponds to a
permission setting, but not the one you think.  If you write it in
octal you get 01204, which corresponds to the unlikely permissions
C<-w----r-T>, not to C<rw-r--r-->.

The appearance of the bizarre permission C<-w----r-T> in a program is
almost a sure sign that someone used C<644> when they meant to use
C<0644>.  By default, this module will detect the use of such unlikely
permissions and issue a warning if you try to format them.  To disable
these warnings, use

 Stat::lsMode->novice(0);   # disable novice mode

 Stat::lsMode->novice(1);   # enable novice mode again

The surprising permissions that are diagnosed by this mode are:

	111 => --xr-xrwx
	400 => rw--w----
	440 => rw-rwx---
	444 => rw-rwxr--
	551 => ---r--rwt
	600 => --x-wx--T
	640 => -w------T
	644 => -w----r-T
	660 => -w--w-r-T
	664 => -w--wx--T
	666 => -w--wx-wT
	700 => -w-rwxr-T
	711 => -wx---rwt
	750 => -wxr-xrwT
	751 => -wxr-xrwt
	751 => -wxr-xrwt
	755 => -wxrw--wt
	770 => r------wT
	771 => r------wt
	775 => r-----rwt
	777 => r----x--t

Of these, only 400 is remotely plausible.

=head1 BUGS

As far as I know, the precise definition of the mode bits is portable
between varieties of Unix.  The module should, however, examine
C<stat.h> or use some other method to find out if there are any local
variations, because Unix being Unix, someone somewhere probably does
it differently.

Maybe C<file_mode> should have an option that says that if the file
is a symlink, to format the mode of the pointed to file instead of the
mode of the link itself, the way C<ls -Ll> does.
