NAME
Task::RecycleTrash - Check/install the dependencies for
File::Remove::trash
DESCRIPTION
The trash function was added to File::Remove to provide access to
various operating system's native "holding area" for deleted files.
On Mac OS X this is known as the "trash" bin, on Windows this is known
as the "recycle" bin.
Unfortunately, the dependencies needed to interact with this
functionality can be quite difficult in several cases, most notably on
Mac OS X where the Mac::Glue (and thus Mac::Carbon) module is needed.
This created the rediculous situation in which a Mac OS X machine would
need to install and (audibly) test a voice synthesis engine in order to
add the capability to reliably delete a file.
To resolve this problem, the "trash" functionality in File::Remove will
ultimately be moved to a seperate distribution, but in the short term
the dependencies for the trash function will simply not be declared.
Task::RecycleTrash provides a replacement dependency for people that
genuinely do need to use the trash function in File::Remove.
It will install the dependencies needed on each platform, and then run
some simple tests to ensure that the trash function is working as
intended.
