package File::Flat; # git description: v1.06-2-g7f3dc2c
# ABSTRACT: Implements a flat filesystem

# The File::Flat is a static class that provides a unified interface
# to the filesystem in a way such that directories are abstracted away.

# This should work on non-Unix platforms, but there may be some
# minor remaining bugs.
