You can either change its permissions from > 444 to 644 in distribution file, or set it to read-write in your test. The file is already 0644 in the VCS checkout that I'm using to create the distribution, but I guess that somewhere along the way it becomes 0444. So I have to set the copied file to be read-write. Searching for it I find this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/445912/how-do-i-clear-the-read-only-flag-from-a-file-in-perl So I guess I'll use chmod. > > It's actually some kind of weird behavior of File::Copy, which doesn't keep > permissions on Linux and keeps them on Windows, OS/2 and VMS -- reasons > unknown.
