;# The validate routine takes a single multiline string consisting of
;# lines containing a filename plus a file test to try on it.  (The
;# file test may also be a 'cd', causing subsequent relative filenames
;# to be interpreted relative to that directory.)  After the file test
;# you may put '|| die' to make it a fatal error if the file test fails.
;# The default is '|| warn'.  The file test may optionally have a ! prepended
;# to test for the opposite condition.  If you do a cd and then list some
;# relative filenames, you may want to indent them slightly for readability.
;# If you supply your own "die" or "warn" message, you can use $file to
;# interpolate the filename.

;# Filetests may be bunched:  -rwx tests for all of -r, -w and -x.
;# Only the first failed test of the bunch will produce a warning.

;# The routine returns the number of warnings issued.

;# Usage:
;#	require "validate.pl";
;#	$warnings += do validate('
;#	/vmunix			-e || die
;#	/boot			-e || die
;#	/bin			cd
;#	    csh			-ex
;#	    csh			!-ug
;#	    sh			-ex
;#	    sh			!-ug
;#	/usr			-d || warn "What happened to $file?\n"
;#	');
