sure you can do that.<br />
<br />
you can embed the following command in you PERL script right after you have closed the file<br />
<br />
$yourfile=&quot;/tmp/file.txt&quot;;<wbr /><br />
<br />
open(FILE,&quot;&gt;file.txt&quot;) || die $!;<br />
<br />
###Do some file write...<br />
<br />
close(FILE);<br />
<br />
`chmod 775 $yourfile`;
</div>

$yourfile="/tmp/file.txt";

open(FILE,">file.txt") || die $!;

###Do some file write...

close(FILE);

`chmod 775 $yourfile`;

If you want to avoid launching an external process you can use the perl command &quot;chmod&quot; like so:<br />
<br />
chmod(0775,&quot;$yourfile1&quot;,&quot;y<wbr />ourfile2&quot;)<wbr />;
</div>


If you want to avoid launching an external process you can use the perl command "chmod" like so:

chmod(0775,"$yourfile1","yourfile2");

I am running Perl on an AIX box and have written a script that automatically &nbsp;creates a file should the file be removed / deleted etc. &nbsp;However when the file is created it inherits only the read / write permissions of the user who ran the script at that time.<br />
<br />
Is there any way I can overide this and set global permissions to this file as everyone uses the script?????

File Permissions

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
