CHMOD all files
How would I CHMOD all files with a .pl extension to 755 in my cgi-bin directory (and its subdirectories)? I know how to CHMOD one file, but not recursively on an extension. Thanks for the help.

I would have thought the following would work:

chmod -R 755 *.pl

Seems to only work for the current directory. It doesn't go to the subdirectories.

Hrm, you're right, I tried a few things and couldn't get it to work. You could write a shell or perl script to recurse through the directories and execute the chmod command for you.

I've seen it done straight from the command line because I saw my DBA do it once before. I don't know how to write a shell script and I don't know how to recurse through directories in Perl.

Try this:

1) In current working directory:
Code:
find . -type f -name "*\.pl" | xargs chmod 755


2) Or specify the root dir:
Code:
find /path/to/that/dir -type f -name "*\.pl" | xargs chmod 755
