Re: [Catalyst] Catalyst::Model::FileSystem? Anybody who's using their own wanna make one? =)
Any features missing from that that you think you'd want? A quick glance doesn't reveal how slurp is implemented, but hopefully you're using sysread. As for features, my app needs (and has implemented) atomic writes, extended filesystem attributes, ctime, mtime, etc. When I get a chance, I'll see what enhancements I can make, send you a patch, and then I'll use your model as a superclass for time. Reusability is good At some point I'm also going to write an SQL frontend to the filesystem, just for fun... (Unfortunately I have about 8 other things pending, so this is going to have to wait a week or two.) Also, it seems to me that there should be some layer above this that Catalyst just happens to use. No need to limit the Filesystem model to catalyst users only.

Re: [Catalyst] Catalyst::Model::FileSystem? Anybody who's using their own wanna make one? =)
That looks like it pretty well covers my need. Only other thing I'd find at all useful is a File::Type method, but I can easily call that as part of my wrapper model. It doesn't seem as useful in the generic one.

Re: [Catalyst] Catalyst::Model::FileSystem? Anybody who's using their own wanna make one? =)
At first glance, C::M::File seems to cover it. It exposes the Class::Path::File object, which includes a stat method, which was one of the big ones. I'll dig around with that in my copious freetime (haha) and see if I can come up with an addition feature list and/or some patches. -D -Original Message- From: Jonathan Rockway [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 1:19 PM To: The elegant MVC web framework Subject: Re: [Catalyst] Catalyst::Model::FileSystem?
