Subject: Mech (and dependencies installs as 700 instead of 755
I just installed Mech from cpan on an OS X system. Everything ran smoothly but the install created the WWW folder with "drwx------ 6 root admin" which means that non-root scripts can't use the module. The normal perms for modules are "drwxr-xr-x 3 root admin". Inside the folder Mechanize was created with go+rx but Robot Rules was created without that. A sudo chmod -R 755 WWW fixed it all. Same problem with HTTP::Request. Any chance this is something in the Mech packaging? If not how should I debug it?

I don't see anything in the Mech makefile about perms: http://search.cpan.org/src/PETDANCE/WWW-Mechanize-1.12/Makefile.PL It sounds to me like there is an issue on your end. To debug it further: - Do you have the same problem with other modules? - Are other OS X users reporting similar problems? - If you are using 'cpan' or 'cpanplus', try the other one, or try a manual 'make install'. Same result? - Are there related bug reports for CPAN.pm or ExtUtils::MakeMaker? - Inspect the Mech tarball (tar -tzvf foo.tar.gz). How do the perms inside it look? Let us know if it continues to look like a Mech issue after more research. Mark -- http://mark.stosberg.com/
