I think, this will better show what you wanted to say to all: dev% umask 0777 dev% touch foo dev% perl -MFile::Temp -le '$File::Temp::KEEP_ALL=1; File::Temp->new(DIR => ".");' dev% ls -l total 0K ---------- 1 cub cub 0 2011-09-09 01:04 foo -rw------- 1 cub cub 0 2011-09-09 01:04 RSdAy0ZtMR
So, when you told that File::Temp don't honor umask, and sets permissions explicitly, you was correct - this is really so. Looking at sources confirms that File::Temp use explicit "chmod 0600". And perldoc for chmod don't tell anything about umask. Seems, Perl is not very obvious here. Moreover: dev% umask 0777 dev% perl -e 'print umask' 511 dev% umask 0002 dev% perl -e 'print umask' 2 Not sure why this is so. This seems to be interesting and need to be investigated additionally. At least, perldoc don't made me clear about why chmod and umask works in such way in Perl. But let's return to File::Temp. As I said - yes, it change permissions to be 0600. Why you consider this as bug? This is just reasonable and secure behavior, not more. As for me, it's obviously: if user create new temporary file - then this file will be empty. Nobody interested in empty files :), and so something will be written to it earlier or later. And there is no reason to only write (to temporary file!) and then never read back. And so, it's obvious that user should have "rw" access - nor only "r", nor only "w". And for security reasons, nobody else should have access to personal temporary files. As for me, all this looks very logical, isn't? But from start of this thread you didn't tell yet, why all this is problem for you? Nobody cares about temp files, and everywhere everything works fine, but not for you.
