access mode int->string

[vertigo]

Hello
I have file acces mode as number for example: 755,
and i want to change it to text for example: -rwx------
Is there any module/function for that ?

Thanx

I have no idea. Why don't you write your own function?

There probably is no module for this, but it's relatively
straightforward to create your own, if you break down the
problem into smaller problems. Take one digit at a time
from left to right and use a bitwise AND to test which
bits make up each number, 4 for r, 2 for w, and 1 for x.
Use the simple string concatenation operator (a period: .
) to build the string up.

If I am not mistaken.

1) Post to comp.lang.perl.misc instead of this comp.lang.perl newsgroup.
2) Look at 'find2perl' for hints.

unix% find2perl . -ls >temp.pl
my @rwx = qw(--- --x -w- -wx r-- r-x rw- rwx);
my $perms = $rwx[$mode & 7];
$mode >>= 3;
$perms = $rwx[$mode & 7] . $perms;
$mode >>= 3;
$perms = $rwx[$mode & 7] . $perms;
substr($perms, 2, 1) =~ tr/-x/Ss/ if -u _;
substr($perms, 5, 1) =~ tr/-x/Ss/ if -g _;
substr($perms, 8, 1) =~ tr/-x/Tt/ if -k _;
