Hello,
I'm the Debian maintainer of the Devel::Cover module and recieved a bug
report from one of its users:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=362015
He basically complains about the permissions used for the cover_db. As
it seems, the currently used permissions where introduced to work around
bug in perl 5.6.x. I wonder if those problems have been fixed in perl
and if it would be possible the use sane permissions with recent perl
versions?
If yes, I'd like to propose that Devel::Cover should check for a minimum
version of perl, which has been verified to work, and use proper
permissions. Otherwise, when the given minimum version number is not
met, it should fall back to its current behaviour.
TIA,
Flo
