perlquestion Anonymous Monk <p> Hello all. I am trying to run chmod (and check for failures), using PERL. The chmod returns 1, but the permissions reported are different than the ones reported after using LINUX's chmod. I have used perl -e to show the inconcictency. See below: <code> > perl -e '$m= chmod (777 , "run.debug.2.log") ; print "$m\n";' 1 > ls -ltr run.debug.2.log -r----x--x 1 ldagan contract 0 Nov 22 08:59 run.debug.2.log > chmod 777 run.debug.2.log > ls -ltr run.debug.2.log -rwxrwxrwx 1 ldagan contract 0 Nov 22 08:59 run.debug.2.log </code> <p> As can be seen, chmod 777 in PERL gives permsissions "-r----x--x", which is different than the LINUX equivalent. Any ideas? </p> 4
