No, no, no! No need to apologize. I only replied since I was afraid I didn't make myself clear and sounded as if I attacked you %-) > As for Unix file permissions, have a look at the cover of "Learning Perl". > At the top of mine it says "UNIX Programming". Aha, sorry, never read that one, but I agree that with that sentence in the title these topics should be covered, either as a standalone chapter or near the corresponding functions. > I do agree that the > mysteries of the *NIX OS should not be covered in a list like this, but some > issues Oink, objection your honor. One's mystery is the other's daily work. I've written quite my share of daemons and server programs, but that might be black magick for others, so even if it's way over the head of a complete beginner, for the average Unix-Joe this is still basic knowledge and is IMO appropriate to be explained here too. A perl beginner will post this kind of questions here, since he cannot decide if this is an advanced topic or a standard problem, so things like that should be posted here as long as they relate to the person's perl code. > However, the point of this response is, again, to apologize to you, Michael, > for inadvertently implying that you had flamed me and I had words for you. > This was not the case at all. Again, no reason for this! :-) I think we're about as much in sync concerning the topic of this thread as we can be. Take care - Mike -- If we fail, we will lose the war.
