dircopy fails if source directory is read only

Trying to copy from a read only directory to a non existent new directory fails. I am running this on Linux, Ubuntu 11.10 with File::Copy::Recursive v0.38. The new destination directory is created, but inherits read only permissions from the source directory before the rest of the files have been copied. Consequently, copying the rest of the source files into the newly created destination directory fails with 'permission denied' for example: ~$ ls -lhd /media/cdrom dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2.0K 2012-02-18 10:35 /media/cdrom dircopy('/media/cdrom', '/tmp/destination') will fail with 'Permission Denied'. A workaround, if you are not concerned by maintaining permissions on the copied files is to set: $File::Copy::Recursive::KeepMode = 0; A longer-term fix requires directories to be created with writeable permissions at first, then sync the permissions once we're done copying.

This should be addressed by https://github.com/drmuey/p5-File-Copy-Recursive/commit/8bf278cb4e132b595d2b3203d1a6af41f2140387 I'd like to write tests for it first though and then see if the TODO works like we'd want.
