perforce and chmod

Perforce does not look at your file system to determine if files need to be synced.
It keeps records on the server of everything you've synced.if you have to chmod a file,
you're probably doing something that will get you into trouble later.
if you do stuff without telling perforce, you'll just be swimming against the current
and it will be a lot of trouble Lesson : Don't change the mode of perforce files in your client!
