Nothing in this "bug" AFAICS relates to perl. Anyhow, if you want to know how umask works, see man creat man 2 mkdir etc. In short, the umask is a *mask* of what is specified by the program that creates the file. So if the program tells not to set --x--x--x, it won't be. Not a bug The umask is applied to the permissions the program requests. Perl like most apps says create with rw-rw-rw and the umask turns it to rw-rw---- Alan |
