Description Martin Tsachev 2005-02-13 05:10:49 UTC 
I want the file checks in perl to have POSIX acl support. For example -w, -r on a file that is set to 600 but the user checking -w has POSIX acl rights to the file will get a file not writable in perl.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

How is this a bug with a gentoo installation of perl? We don't disable POSIX support, and perl's default action is to configure with POSIX support by default.

It doesn't work though, I checked. I can't know for sure if this is a gentoo specific or generic bug as I don't have where to test. It applies to gentoo though.

Sorry, but at this time there is no way for us to address this (it is most likely upstream at that)
