Perl's umask equivalent command

[E Arredondo]

Hi,

I need all files created to be -rw-rw-rw , on unix I would put at the top of
the script:

#!/bin/ksh
umask 0


Can I use umask on perl ?

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
umask 0

Thanks

What happened when you ran this? See "perldoc -f umask".

Have you read the documentation for the function you want to use?

perldoc -f umask

Yes, perl has a function for using a umask.

I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to guess
what such a function might be named...

That is fantabulous. I've just started programming with Perl (5 days ago)
and I'm already included on the honorable perlsaq list.

You would do well, then, to read some built-in documentation. Of
possible interest to you would be:
perldoc perlfunc
for an alphabetical, and by-category, list of all Perl built-in
functions
perldoc perltoc
for a listing of all the available documentation
perldoc perlintro
for an introduction to get you started.

This is not intended to be mean, cruel, harsh, sarcastic, or in any
other way not-nice. It is a genuine effort to show you what help is
available for new Perl programmers.
