Hi Wayne,

PerlMonks is more of a place to learn Perl, and not usually a place where people do others' work for free - unless a monk happens to be interested, but that's not always the case, especially the more freebies one asks for ;-) If you're planning on fixing more bugs in the code, the best way to go would be to pick up at least a little bit of Perl yourself. perlintro is a good place to start, as well as Tutorials and learn.perl.org. Anyway, having said that...

Disclaimer: I don't know the rest of the "guiguts" code, so I don't know if the following will fix the issue 100% or if there will be any negative side effects on other parts of the code.

I'd try to hack the fix by adding the line chmod(0666&~umask,$filename) or warn "Couldn't chmod $filename"; after the line if ( rename( $tempfilename, $filename ) ) { (untested).

BTW, it'd be best to mention the existing bug report: https://sourceforge.net/p/guiguts/bugs/133/

Regards,

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
