There's an lchmod function that avoids this behavior, but I'm not sure that Perl provides an interface to it without a new XS module. (It's not portable to all systems, but it is available on Linux.) Failing switching to lchmod, File::Path should check with -l whether the file is a link before chmoding it. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
