Hello group:
In attempting to set $file2 to the same mode as $file1 I do this:
my $mode = (stat($file1))[2]; chmod $mode, $file2;
That code does the trick but I just want to make sure of:
1)
I see in perldoc -f chmod it talks about oct() but if I'm using stat's mode it should be safe not to use oct() correct?
2) $mode is really strange, ls -l shows a file as being 644 but $mode is 33188 or a directory as 755 but $mode is 16877
Why is that? What am I missing?
TIA
