Subject: Weird permissions mean tarball can't be easily extracted
Here's an example: mike@doherty:/tmp $ tar xzvf Mail-Sender-0.8.21.tar.gz ./ ./Mail-Sender-0.8.21/ ./Mail-Sender-0.8.21/Changes ./Mail-Sender-0.8.21/Config.PL ./Mail-Sender-0.8.21/Makefile.PL ./Mail-Sender-0.8.21/MANIFEST ./Mail-Sender-0.8.21/META.yml ./Mail-Sender-0.8.21/README ./Mail-Sender-0.8.21/Sender/ ./Mail-Sender-0.8.21/Sender/CType/ ./Mail-Sender-0.8.21/Sender/CType/Ext.pm ./Mail-Sender-0.8.21/Sender/CType/Win32.pm ./Mail-Sender-0.8.21/Sender.pm ./Mail-Sender-0.8.21/t/ ./Mail-Sender-0.8.21/t/00-load.t ./Mail-Sender-0.8.21/t/01-create-object.t tar: .: Cannot utime: Operation not permitted tar: .: Cannot change mode to rwxr-xr-t: Operation not permitted tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors The requested operations probably require root privileges, which seems like a bad idea. -Mike Doherty

I can only hope a more current tar (or whatever `build dist` decides to use) generates a saner set of permissions. I have no way to specify unixish permissions as I am on Windows.

You can use ptar from Archive::Tar, see http://blogs.perl.org/users/chorny/2011/07/how-to-get-rid-of-withoutworldwriteables.html -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net

I haven't got a complaint from CPAN after uploading the 0.8.23 so seems dmake dist did produce a .tar.gz with "proper" permissions.
