in reply to How to chgrp in perl?

If the target is a *nix system, why not just save yourself the trouble and use a chgrp command in backticks, or via a system() call. If you want to get fancy you could check the OS type or for the existence of a chgrp command in your path, and only chgrp if you know you can.
