Re^3: Perl, Permission and Browsers

Setting to -rwxrwxrwx is not a secure idea, do -rwxr-xr-x which will allow it to be executed not seen.. it does sound that simply put your permissions are not set correctly

Thats not quite right. If I remember correctly, to make something executable, but not viewable, you would want the permissions as `-rwxr-x--x` [download] That would set the Read/Write/Execute bits on the file for the Owner, the Read/Execute bits for Group (but not Write) and Execute (no Read or Write) for World (i.e. everyone else). But, those are Unix-style permissions, not Windows. You might see the following `-rwxrwxrwx` [download] permissions if you are looking at the file on a Windows machine with FTP (depending on how permissions are set for files on the Windows machine).
