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.
