Re: check if file is executable by user/group/world?

so how would I, then, turn said bit off and on? I assumed it would be something like this, but it clearly does not work:

use Fcntl ':mode';
$file = 'myfile';
$mode = (stat($file))[2];
chmod ($mode | S_IXOTH), $file;

This is why you should use warnings and strict in your code. With warnings turned on you should get next warning: `Useless use of array element in void context at ./file_change_mode.pl line 12.` Reason why this is happening you can see in perlfunc. You could write: `chmod(($mode \| S_IXOTH), $ARGV[0]);` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
