note ColonelPanic <p>I disagree.</p> <p>The problem is that you need a leading zero in order for a number in Perl to be interpreted as octal. That isn't explicitly mentioned in the <code>chmod()</code> documentation, and might not be clear if you don't already know it.</p> <code> print 0777 . " (octal)\n"; print 777 . " (decimal)\n"; </code> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-27571"> <br><br>When's the last time you used duct tape on a duct? --Larry Wall </div></div> 1005083 1005088
