I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

multiple users cannot do perl installation due to chmod

The following code in ExtUtils::MM_Unix is doing chmod 664 on .bs file. This means that two different users cannot do installation as if one user if the owner, then the other cannot do chmod on it. Is there any solution to this? Or am I missing something?

# As Mkbootstrap might not write a file (if none is required) # we use touch to prevent make continually trying to remake it. # The DynaLoader only reads a non-empty file. $(BOOTSTRAP) : $(FIRST_MAKEFILE) $(BOOTDEP) $(INST_ARCHAUTODIR)$(DFSEP).exists $(NOECHO) $(ECHO) "Running Mkbootstrap for $(NAME) ($(BSLOADLIBS))" $(NOECHO) $(PERLRUN) \ "-MExtUtils::Mkbootstrap" \ -e "Mkbootstrap('$(BASEEXT)','$(BSLOADLIBS)');" $(NOECHO) $(TOUCH) %s $(CHMOD) $(PERM_RW) %s
