Hi p5p, as reported in <http://bugs.debian.org/487319> and <http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=36982>, when File::Path::rmtree() encounters a symlink, it will change the permissions of the link target to the permissions of the link, usually 0777. This is obviously a Bad Thing with security implications. The 'safe' parameter doesn't seem to help here. There's a proposed patch by Ben Hutchings in the Debian report. The bug is present (at least) in File-Path-2.04, in both 5.10.0 and blead. -- Niko Tyni ntyni@debian.orgThread Next
