- Subject: perlcc and permissions
Hi
There is a huge inconsistency in how perl and perlcc handle file
permissions. I am wondering what the reason is. How can it be that perl
can read a file and perlcc fails?
There is a file, foo.pl, owned by my group, but without proper
permissions.
$ ls -l foo.pl
-rwx------+ 1 Administratorzy Brak 34 Aug 28 16:29 foo.pl
I guess that in strict mode the file should not be readable by me.
However, cat and perl can read it without problems.
$ cat foo.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "hello\n";
$ perl foo.pl
hello
perlcc is more strict about it:
$ perlcc foo.pl
/usr/bin/perlcc: Cannot read input file foo.pl:
When I change the permissions:
$ chmod g+r foo.pl
$ ls -l foo.pl
-rwxr-----+ 1 Administratorzy Brak 34 Aug 28 16:29 foo.pl
$ perlcc foo.pl
