Hi,
I'm having trouble with Perl 5.8.6-4 under Cygwin 1.5.12. Some perl
script uses the "-r" test to chech whether a directory is readable. It
fails on the following directory:
$ perl -e 'exit !(-r $ARGV[0])' /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/ThinkPad/Utilities
&& echo "yep"
$ test -r /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/ThinkPad/Utilities && echo "yep"
yep
$ ls -ld /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/ThinkPad/Utilities
drwx------+ 2 admin None 0 Aug 16 2004 /cygdrive/c/Program
Files/ThinkPad/Utilities/
$ getfacl /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/ThinkPad/Utilities
# file: /cygdrive/c/Program Files/ThinkPad/Utilities
# owner: admin
# group: None
user::rwx
group::---
group:root:rwx
group:SYSTEM:rwx
group:Users:r-x
group:Power Users:rwx
mask:rwx
other:---
default:user::rwx
default:group:root:rwx
default:group:SYSTEM:rwx
default:group:Users:r-x
default:group:Power Users:rwx
default:mask:rwx
$
Is this behavior by design, or does perl actually check ACLs and something
is wrong with my installation?
Igor
P.S. IIUC, this wouldn't have anything to do with traverse checking, even
if it weren't 1.5.12.
