Windows file systems don't have all thos bits. perlfunc says:

Perl was born in Unix and can therefore access all common Unix system calls. In non-Unix environments, the functionality of some Unix system calls may not be available, or details of the available functionality may differ slightly. The Perl functions affected by this are:

-X, binmode, chmod, chown, . . .

For more information about the portability of these functions, see perlport and other available platform-specific documentation.

perlport says chmod is . . .

Only good for changing "owner" read-write access, "group", and "other" bits are meaningless. (Win32)

Update: I misunderstood and apologize for the pedantry. I'll keep looking and let you know if I find something.

I humbly seek wisdom.
