Two backup schemes are supported: simple and numbered backups. In +simple (or single) backup scheme, only one backup copy is maintained for the +given file. Its name is created by appending a single tilde character to the +original file name. In numbered backup scheme, arbitrary number of backup +copies can be created. The name of each backup copy is created by suffixing +the original file name with '.~N~', where N is a decimal number starting with +1. Additionally, the automatic backup name scheme is implemented. In this +naming scheme, numbered backups are created if at least one numbered backup +copy already exists and simple backups are created otherwise. + +INSTALLATION +------------ + +The usual way: + + perl Makefile.PL + make + make test + make install + +COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE +--------------------- + +Copyright (C) 2020 by Sergey Poznyakoff + +This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it +under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the +Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or (at your +option) any later version. + +It is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, +but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of +MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
