I want to dump data from a mysql database using perl 5.8
I am trying to create a directory which is writable to everyone
so the user which the mysqld is running under has access permission to write the file
this is the piece of code for creating the directory
my $dump_dir = $output_dir."/".$dbname; if(! -e $dump_dir){ mkdir($dump_dir, 0777) or throw("Couldn't make ".$dump_dir." $! "); }
OUTPUT:
but this is the privileges i got after creating the directory
drwxr-xr-x 2 lec sieter 8192 Apr 13 15:15 boreg_new_2
Does anyone know let me know why the permission is still not writable for everyone?
