You can set the permissions with your fifth argument to tie when creating the database:
tie(%database, 'DB_File', $path_to_db, O_RDWR | O_CREAT, $permissions);
Alternately, if you really wanted to use umask, here's a brief explanation. Umask is basically the bits not to set when a file or directory is created, files will be 666 and directories 777 with the umask bits removed, thus a umask of 002 will make files 664 and directories 775 and a umask of 010 will make files 666 (because the group x bit isn't set, it isn't modified) and directories 767 (a umask of 010 isn't really useful, it was just used as an example). And always remember to begin your permissions with a 0 to get them in octal (0644, 0777, etc.)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
