I'm updating perl scripts using gvim 5.6 for Win32 and after saving my changes the permissions on the file change so that I have to do a 'chmod 777 *.pl' to be able to execute them again. Things I've already tried: - adding #!/usr/local/bin/perl to the first line of my script - changing the fileformat within vim to dos|unix etc - mucking with the CYGWIN environment variable currently @ SET CYGWIN="tty notitle ntsec binmode" Is there anything I can do to keep the permissions from changing rather than installing a different ( cygwin friendly ) version of Vim. thanks! -- B r i a n S t u r k E.E. / Software Eng. http://www.nh.ultranet.com/~bsturk -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
