Fine, use creation bits of 0777.
Are you saying that
open FH, "> $file";
chmod 0777, $file;
is fine, while
umask 0;
sysopen FH, $file, O_CREAT|O_RDWR, 0777;
is not? In that case, I'm really confused by now. ;-)
Neither of these require fooling with umask.
If you want to set permission 777 via e.g. sysopen() or mkdir(), you
do need to set umask, unless it happens to be 0 to start with.
