I'm trying to change the ownership and permissions on a file but using
unless (`chown root:root $working_file`) {
do_something
}
Throws an "illegal seek" error. The only other alternative is to stat a
file owned by root to get the uid etc, and then use perl's in built
chown function to change the files ownership but this seems terribly
long winded.
Any suggestions ?
Regards
Rick
