Re^2: Creating a tarball

[Tux]

I'd guard that against unreadable files:

sub { -f || -d and        push @filenamelist, "$_" },
=>
sub { -f || -d and -r and push @filenamelist, "$_" },

[tybalt89]

Which leads to the question: Should these files be silently ignored, or an error or warning be generated?

(And code gets more and more complicated :)

G'day Tux,

You raise a good point and, in general, my code is littered with such checks. However, in this instance, the directory structure is generated afresh immediately before the tarball creation, and the spec requires all files in the directory structure to be readable. So, while that is something I would normally do, it's not needed in this particular situation. Thanks for mentioning it anyway.
