Fellow Monasterians,
I comfortable working on the command line to do this, but I've created Web app that uses CGI's upload method to upload a file from the browser. On the way, if the subdirectory 'foobar' doesn't exist, my script makes it.
I have the permissions working, but I'm getting the desired ownership of:
drwxrwx--- 2 www-data sftp 4096 2008-07-28 22:18 foobar
instead I'm ending up with:
drwxrwx--- 2 www-data www-data 4096 2008-07-28 22:18 foobar
Likewise, the file ownership itself is the same:
-rwxrwx--- 1 www-data www-data 27034 2008-07-28 22:32 wilma.jpg
Here's my script:
mkdir('foobar') or die...;
my $mode = 0770; chmod $mode, 'foobar' or die...;
chown 'www-data', 'sftp', 'foobar' or die...;
my $upload_filehandle = $query->upload($upload);
open UPLOADFILE, ">$upload_dir/$filename";
binmode UPLOADFILE;
while ( <$upload_filehandle> ) {
print UPLOADFILE;
}
close UPLOADFILE;
$mode = 0770; chmod $mode, "$upload_dir/$filename";
Is this even possible? Thanks.
Update: Fixed typo
Update 2: per comments of the good monks, I changed chown 'www-data', 'sftp', 'foobar' or die; to chown -1, 1003, 'foobar' or die; (1003 being the numeric equivalent for the group) for success.

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>

<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>

-
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).
