Summary: perl -i resets file ACLs and EAs
Product: Fedora Core
Version: fc5
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: normal
Component: perl
AssignedTo: rnorwood(a)redhat.com
ReportedBy: josh(a)jbc.edu
QAContact: dkl(a)redhat.com
CC: fedora-perl-devel-list(a)redhat.com
Description of problem:
When perl's -i option is used to do an in-place edit of a file, it resets the
ACLs and extended attributes on that file.
Since perl -i can be a very helpful tool for scripting and system
administration, it would be nice if it preserved ACLs and EAs.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-5.8.8-5
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. touch testfile
2. setfacl -m u:testuser:r testfile
3. setfattr -n user.test testfile
4. perl -pi -e 's/Something/SomethingElse/' testfile
5. getfacl testfile; getfattr testfile
Actual results:
Nothing.
Expected results:
ACLs and EAs set in steps 2 and 3 above.
