This software provides a Perl extension that allows for easy management of ACL (Access Control Lists) lists. The extension simplifies the process of creating and manipulating ACLs for various applications.
Data::ACL is a useful Perl extension for those who need to manage simple ACL lists. With the help of Set::NestedGroups, it provides easy and flexible controls over allowed and denied access to different resources.
To start using Data::ACL, you simply need to include it in your Perl code and define your preferred groups using Set::NestedGroups. Once you've added the desired groups, you can then create a new instance of Data::ACL and pass it your Set::NestedGroups object.
With Data::ACL, you can then create a new realm for each resource you want to control access to. Defining the rules for each realm is easy - you simply call Allow or Deny on a given realm object and specify the user or group that should be allowed or denied access.
Finally, to check if a given user is authorized to access a given realm, you just need to call the IsAuthorized method on your Data::ACL object with the user and realm as arguments.
All in all, Data::ACL is a straightforward and effective way of managing simple ACL lists in your Perl projects. By allowing you to define nested groups and control access at the realm level, it gives you the flexibility and granularity you need for many common access control scenarios.
