           Summary: perl -i resets file ACLs and EAs
           Product: Fedora Core
           Version: fc5
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: normal
         Component: perl
        AssignedTo: rnorwood at redhat.com
        ReportedBy: josh at jbc.edu

Description of problem:
When perl's -i option is used to do an in-place edit of a file, it resets the
ACLs and extended attributes on that file.

Since perl -i can be a very helpful tool for scripting and system
administration, it would be nice if it preserved ACLs and EAs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-5.8.8-5

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. touch testfile
2. setfacl -m u:testuser:r testfile
3. setfattr -n user.test testfile
4. perl -pi -e 's/Something/SomethingElse/' testfile
5. getfacl testfile; getfattr testfile

Actual results:
Nothing.

Expected results:
ACLs and EAs set in steps 2 and 3 above.
