Just been chasing my tail for hours trying to figure out why the permissions on a file weren't being set even though no error was being thrown. It turns out that giving a dos like path to chmod in perl under 1.7 although doesn't error it doesn't do anything either. Here's my little test case: [script] #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; unlink '/tmp/test.exe'; print `touch /tmp/test.exe; ls -l /tmp/test.exe`; if ( ! chmod 0777, 'C:/cygwin/tmp/test.exe' ) { print STDERR "Failed to chmod ($!)\n"; exit 1; } print `ls -l /tmp/test.exe`; if ( ! chmod 0777, '/tmp/test.exe' ) { print STDERR "Failed to chmod ($!)\n"; exit 1; } print `ls -l /tmp/test.exe`; [/script] The output of this here is: ./t.pl -rw-r--r-- 1 root None 0 Nov 29 18:41 /tmp/test.exe -rw-r--r-- 1 root None 0 Nov 29 18:41 /tmp/test.exe -rwxrwxrwx 1 root None 0 Nov 29 18:41 /tmp/test.exe As you can see after the first chmod using a dos like path no error is generated but the operation silently fails. This is using 1.7 from about a month back, so would be good if someone with a current version could test to see if this is still an issue as its very nasty imo.
