what do you mean, no luck? what was the error message? anyway, you
should try
#! /bin/bash
/usr/bin/perl -e 'printf "%#o", ((stat($1))[2] & 0x1ff)'
or whatever 'which perl' tells you.
putting a perl command in a shell script seems silly though... why not
just use
#!/usr/bin/perl
printf "%#o", ((stat($ARGV[0]))[2] & & 0x1ff);
