This is a bug report for perl from steve.siano@yahoo.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.8.

The following does not set the sticky bit on FreeBSD, but it works on Linux:

    perl -e "umask 0000; mkdir('foo', 01777);"

This behavior was observed on local disk and over NFS.

However, chmod does set the sticky bit on FreeBSD and Linux:

    perl -e "umask 0000; chmod(01777, 'foo');"
