Hi all,

We are having problems installing a Perl module in a VS using the Idaya
CD (freeVSD v1.4.10) and the default skel (freevsd-skel-1_4_10-1rh6).

It seems a bit strange to me...
By default the admin user has no write permissions to files in
/usr/lib/perl5/... - fair enough as the files in here seem to be ones
hard linked to the skel.

But why isnt the skel setup so that by default, new/updated Perl modules
are installed
to /usr/local/lib/perl5/... (although /usr/lib/perl5/.. will be used to
find a module if it doesnt exist in /usr/local/lib/perl5 )?  It seems to
be this way on the DSVR VSs that we own and I cant think of a good
reason for not doing this?

In the meantime though, as a temporary measure, we are going to give the
"admin" user rwx permission to all the directories under /usr/lib/perl5
(will this solve the problem?) but not to any of the files within them.
Anyone know a groovy Linux command to do this (perhaps a "chgrp -R
admin" and "chmod -R 770" under "/usr/lib/perl5" but only for
directories?)

Thanks in advance,

Ben Kennish
