how to use stat() to get unix permissions?
I can use:
$mode = stat("/test") [2]
and I get a 5 digit number like 33216
HOW do I convert this number into unix permissions such
as 777 or 755 or 700?
Thanks!

that did it...I though that was the problem, - so I tried to use oct()...but that is the opposite of printf format specifier!
Thanks...

Can you really use
$mode = stat("/test") [2]
?
I have to use $mode = (stat "/test")[2];
$mode = stat("/test") [2]
?
I have to use $mode = (stat "/test")[2];
#you're just loking at in decimal instead of octal
printf "%o",$mode;
