prob with File.open and perms

[Une Bévue]

if i use :
File.open('a_file',File::WRONLY|File::TRUNC|File::CREAT) do |f|
f.print 'something'
end

the 'a_file' i get has the following perms :
-rw-r--r--

which correspond to 644 (right?)
generally it's OK with those perms.

however if i rewrite the three lines above specifying the perms as 644 :
File.open('a_file',File::WRONLY|File::TRUNC|File::CREAT,644) do |f|
f.print 'something'
end

i get the following perms :
--w----r--

and then i can't do even a cat upon this file )))

is it my missunderstanding of File.open or a bugg ???

That is octal.

File.open('a_file',File::WRONLY|File::TRUNC|File::CREAT,644) do |f|

Use 0644.

Fine thanks for the trick ;-)
