Subject: Dir.mkdir

I am quite confused by the "Dir.mkdir( aString [, anInteger  ] ) -> 0"
class method. It doesn't seem to work as expected in the UNIX way.

Say I have the following program, mkdir.rb:

#! /usr/bin/env ruby
Dir.mkdir(ARGV[0], 0777) if ARGV.size >= 1


When I type:

mkdir.rb t

instead of set the permission of the directory t to: drwxrwxrwx, it is
set to: drwxr-xr-x


Can anyone explain?

Thanks.
