Re: •Re: "not enough arguments" with 'mkdir' command

That's the "mode" argument, or "permission mode" to be a little more verbose.

I agree that the argument should be named "mode", but that's not how it is documented. In 5.8's perlfunc:

    mkdir FILENAME,MASK
    mkdir FILENAME

Note: in 5.005, it was called mode.

Ugh. I wonder who broke the docs then. Ugh. Time to file a bug report. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]
