You are asking the same question as you asked in file permissions using File::NCopy and you still haven't properly read and understand the documentation for File::NCopy, the `set_permission` option to the constructor takes a reference to a subroutine that takes two filenames as it's arguments - the first the one to get the permissions from, and the second one to apply the permissions to. If you really wanted to do that you probably want to do: `File::NCopy->new('set_permission' => sub { chmod 0644 ,$_[1] })->copy( +$file,"$filename");` [download] but you probably don't want to use File::NCopy but use plain File::Copy and do `chmod 0644, $filename` after doing the copy. /J\	[reply] [d/l] [select]

If the file is not checked out, clearcase will not allow you to modify it. I'm not sure if File::Copy will return any error messages, but it wouldn't hurt to check. I'm not sure of the syntax (for File::Copy) either, so I can't really tell you if that's right. Perl also has chmod built in. Try copying with File::Copy and then `chmod 0644, $file or warn "Unable to chmod $file!\n$!\n";` [download] or something similar.	[reply] [d/l]

As you said i did File::NCopy->new('set_permission' => "777")->copy($filepath,"$filename"); and then chmod 0644, $filename; it works now.Thanks .	[reply]

That would be because of your umask, which unsets bits on file mode operations. `-- I'm not belgian but I play one on TV. On dit que je parle comme un belge aussi.`	[reply]
