perl -MFile​::Temp -e'my ($fh, $path) = File​::Temp​::tempfile(); close $fh; local ($!); my $ok = chmod( 0111, $fh ); print "ok? [$ok] err? [$!/$^E]"'

The above breaks on every Perl version that I've tried​: 5.14.4/Linux, 5.18.2/Mac, and 5.20.0/Mac.

If you take out the "local ($!);", then it populates $! as you'd expect.

chown() appears to have a similar problem.

perl -MFile​::Temp -e'my ($fh, $path) = File​::Temp​::tempfile(); close
$fh; local ($!); my $ok = chown( 99, 99, $fh ); print "ok? [$ok] err?
[$!/$^E]"'

If you take out the "local ($!);", then it populates $! as you'd expect.

The presence of «local $!» will prevent the previous value (from
tempfile()) from being visible, but the real issue here is that you're
trying to chmod a filehandle you've just closed. This is not a bug.

Compare this to how print behaves​:

perl -MFile​::Temp -e'my ($fh, $path) = File​::Temp​::tempfile(); close
$fh; local ($!); my $ok = print {$fh} 123; print "ok? [$ok] err? [$!/$^E]"'

ok? [] err? [Bad file descriptor/Bad file descriptor]

The documented behavior is that chown() and chmod() populate $! whenever
there is an error. Perl is not implementing that behavior; by
definition, this seems to be a bug.

He's trying to GENERATE an error in order to show that the local($!)
makes the expected value of $! disappear.

So yes, it is a bug.

Notice hor

$ perl -MFile​::Temp -e'my ($fh, $path) = File​::Temp​::tempfile(); close $fh;
$! = 0; my $ok = chmod( 0111, $fh ); print "ok? [$ok] err? [$!/$^E]"'

gives exactly the same result. The only conclusion that can be made here is
that $! isn't being written to in the first place. This has nothing to do
with localization.

Yes, it does not set $! if $fh is a closed filehandle (because it doesn't
do any syscall). This is probably a bug, the attached patch fixes this.

This is a bug report for perl from felipe@​felipegasper.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.14.4.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]

perl -MFile​::Temp -e'my ($fh, $path) = File​::Temp​::tempfile(); close $fh; local ($!); my $ok = chmod( 0111, $fh ); print "ok? [$ok] err? [$!/$^E]"'

The above breaks on every Perl version that I've tried​: 5.14.4/Linux, 5.18.2/Mac, and 5.20.0/Mac.

If you take out the "local ($!);", then it populates $! as you'd expect.

It sets $! to "Inappropriate ioctl for device" on my box, which
doesn't at all seem an error message I was expecting.

In fact, that's what $! contains after File​::Temp​::tempfile​:

  #!/usr/bin/perl

  use 5.010;
  use File​::Temp;

  say "[$!]";
  my ($fh, $path) = File​::Temp​::tempfile;
  say "[$!]";

  __END__
  []
  [Inappropriate ioctl for device]

Which further indicates what Leon was saying, the issue here is that
chmod() doesn't populate $!.

I've applied essentially this patch, but with some tests as 8334cae.

I didn't notice yours until after I'd written mine.
