In that case, I'm really confused by now. ;-)
No, I'm saying that neither is fine. Just pass 0600 or 0777 to open(2) and let the umask determine the resulting permissions. I don't want the program to decide for me that the file needs to have world write priv, for example. I'm still struggling to think of a real-world situation where a file would _have_ to be created as rw-rw-rw- or rwxrwxrwx. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
