[Chicago-talk] Permission?

[Richard Reina]

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. 
  When I execute:
 
 
 $: perl -ni.bak -e 'print unless 1..1' my_log.txt'
 
 I get:
 
 can't rename my_log.txt to my_log.txt.bak: Permission denied, skipping file.
 
 However, the permissions for my_log.txt and my_log.txt.bak are:
 
 -rwxrwxrwx root root
 
 As you might expect, if run the command as root it works.  Is there a way to modify it so it works without changing the file ownership?
 
 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
 Richard
