Greetings Sisters and Brothers,
Using stat, I'm not getting the results I expect. Could you please explain why.
($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev,$size,
$atime,$mtime,$ctime,$blksize,$blocks)
= stat($file);
... Later
$mode = $mode & 07777;
print "mode=".$mode."\n";
In this example the target file is /etc/passwd. Here are my results.
$ ls -l /etc/passwd
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1289 Jul 22 16:27 /etc/passwd
$ ./perms-module.pl /etc/passwd 644 root root
mode=420
Why is the mode 420 rather than 644?

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).
