"test" and "ls" prove that I can read them. -r does not test to see if you can read a file, it tests whether the mode gives you read access to the file. > $ ~/bin/pstat /c/WINDOWS > mode = 16888 (= 040770) And it does not. This may help: use filetest "access"; (see http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/filetest) but the only guaranteed cross-platform way to see if you can read a file is to try to read it. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
