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?

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?
