in reply to simple chmod
The code itself looks OK. First, you can examine chmod's return value.
Manual says that it returns the number of successfully chmod'ed files.
So you can do something like:
chmod $mod, $file or die "Couldn't chmod $file";
Then you can check if you have enough permissions to change attributes of the file. If you want to incorporate this checks into your program, then read the "perldoc -f -X".
HTH.
