file permissions using File::NCopy

Madam has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

I am using File::Ncopy to copy the file in clearcase environment and the source file is read-only file and i need the destination file should be having read-write permissions(as it is backup file and can be overwritten any number of times).

hence i am using

File::NCopy->new(u_chmod => "777")->copy($filepath,"$filename");
[download]

but though i have set the permissions for the destination it is having read-only permissions. please let me know if i am using this API properly or any other way of doing it.

Thanks in advance,
Madam

hi This is wrong; `File::NCopy->new(u_chmod => "777")->copy($filepath,"$filename");` [download] The u_chmod is a reference to a function so u need to pass a reference to it. Look at the synopsis of it in cpan. Thanks SasiKumar	[reply] [d/l]
