Hi, How does one replicate the protection after copying files? I used this code:
my $mode = ( stat $abs_file )[2] & 07777; -f $dest_name and 1 while unlink $dest_name; my $ok = File::Copy::syscopy( $abs_file, $dest_name ); $ok and $ok &&= chmod $mode, $dest_name; $ok or carp "copy '$file' ($dest_path): $!\n"; But it doesn't seem to replicate the full protection: $ type prot.pl #! perl -w use strict; my @files = map qq/user1:[abeltje.$_]perly.h/ => qw/perl-5_8_x perl-58x/; for my $file ( @files ) { printf "stat($file)[2]: %04o\n", (stat $file)[2] & 07777; print for grep !/^\s*$/ => qx(dir/protection $file); } $ perl prot.pl stat(user1:[abeltje.perl-5_8_x]perly.h)[2]: 0444 Directory USER1:[ABELTJE.PERL-5_8_X] PERLY.H;1 (RWED,R,R,R) Total of 1 file. stat(user1:[abeltje.perl-58x]perly.h)[2]: 0444 Directory USER1:[ABELTJE.PERL-58X] PERLY.H;1 (R,R,R,R) Total of 1 file.
