Re: [Boston.pm] chmod issue

This is just a wild guess, but it could be an order of operations issue. Try
using "or" instead of "||". In addition, is the script running as a user
that has permission to change the file?

Subject: [Boston.pm] chmod issue

Hi,
Does anyone know of any issues with chmod? I'm trying to do the following:

chmod 0777, $file || die "That didn't work so well";

I've tried this numerous ways, and yet the file is not chmodding, nor
is the process dying. It's returning a 1, which according to the camel
book means it worked (chmod returns the number of files that were
successfully chmodded?) I think Perl honestly believes it's chmodding
the file. Any ideas?

Kate
