ACL are Access Control Lists. They are available with most filesystems=20=

under Linux (Ext3, ReiserFS, XFS) as well as under Solaris, IRIX, etc.

perlfunc recommends to C<use filetest 'access';> for better results=20
when running on a filesystem with ACL support. The filetest pragma=20
seems to be available since Perl 5.6.

But IIRC, the Cookbook recommended to forget all the -X tests (where X=20=
