On the heavy side, Fuse::Simple lets you map a file system to Perl hashes.
FUSE is implemented at the OS level rather than being Perl specific. it doesn't require root access, but does need a server process (or at least a thread). The files are really mounted and are visible to Perl and other processes. It's a deeper abstraction which may or may not be what you want. As a final catch, the underlaying Fuse module claims to only work well under Linux or BSD. FUSE however is widely available on other platforms, including Windows. I just thought it might be of interest. See also the wikipedia entry Filesystem in Userspace. In reply to Re: could be directory "virtualized" from perl, like PerlIO but for directories?
