Currently the function detach sets the process umask to 0133 so that "newly
created files have rw-r--r-- permissions by default" (sic). This precludes the
process from creating readily usable directories:
$ perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use App::Daemon 'daemonize';
daemonize;
mkdir '/tmp/foobar';
__END__
$ ls -ld /tmp/foobar
drw-r--r-- 2 hue hue 4096 20120222:170458+0100 /tmp/foobar/
$ cd /tmp/foobar
bash: cd: /tmp/foobar: Permission denied
$ _
By manually resetting the process' umask, all is well again:
$ perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use App::Daemon 'daemonize';
daemonize; umask 0022;
mkdir '/tmp/foobar';
__END__
$ ls -ld /tmp/foobar
drwxr-xr-x 2 hue hue 4096 20120222:170820+0100 /tmp/foobar/
$ cd /tmp/foobar
$ _
This happens with App::Daemon 0.13, although I can see that 0.14 is affected as
well by browsing the code at cpan.org.
