perl script solution

I enjoy coding simple perl scripts like this, so here is a perl script that
will parse the output of "ls -lR dir [dir...]" or "ls -nR dir [dir...]" and
restore the permissions, owner, and group of all the files it finds.  You can
feel free to manually edit ls's output to remove unnecessary directories and/or
files, and then use the result to apply the listed attrs to another host's
files.  For instance, assuming the script "file-attr-restore" is somewhere in
the $PATH of server "remotehost", this sequence of commands would should update
the attrs on remotehost:

ls -lR /etc /usr/local/etc >saved-permissions
cat saved-permissions | ssh remotehost file-attr-restore
