Thanks for the quick reply! I tried this out, but it seems not to work, at least not in my case `D:\dev\perl>perl -e "mkdir('test');" D:\dev\perl>attrib test D:\dev\perl\dirtreeByTag\test` [download] DOS attrib shows no +R (the flag for read-only) - but the Windows property Dialog shows "semi-checked" checkbox for write protection (meaning the background of the box is gray, but it is checked) I Think this must mean that there are differences between the DOS-available attributes and the ones windows sets... I will look further with this information and let you know if I find something. In the mean time I'm looking forward for any other answers, as everybody here does always ;-) greetings to all of you	[reply] [d/l]

I now tried to fix it with `Win32::File::Object` - and found out that I indeed can set and unset attributes like HIDDEN but whatever I try it does not work for READONLY	[reply] [d/l]

Well... at least not for directories, as I found out now. With regular files all works just fine... Could this be a bug in the Win32::File / Win32::File::Object Module?	[reply]
