Subject: Wrong permissions in tarball
The tarballs of Math-Transform-List are missing the x bit for the directories and so are not usable on Unix systems: $ tar tfv Math-Transform-List-1.002.tar.gz dr--r--r-- philip r brenan/None 0 2009-03-19 08:26 Math-Transform-List-1.002/ ... Extracting: $ tar xfv Math-Transform-List-1.002.tar.gz Math-Transform-List-1.002/ ... $ cd Math-Transform-List-1.002 cd:cd:1: permission denied: Math-Transform-List-1.002 This means the distribution is also not automatically installable using CPAN.pm Your other distributions also have this problem, for example Math-Disarrange-List-1.002, Math-Permute-List-1.002, Math-Subsets-List-1.002 ...

It is one of the dreadful consequences of developing on Windows. I see that CPAN now recognizes this problem and creates a modified version which hopefully does work for Unix as well as Windows. It is important that people understand that Perl is used on platforms that do not have x bit in directories. On Fri Mar 20 17:13:49 2009, SREZIC wrote: Show quoted text
