Having your library files be writable by anyone on the system is a security hole, anyone who gets minimum access can install a trojan, so the chmod is doing the right thing. Simplest thing to do is to put all the users who can install Perl modules into the same group. Then use newgrp to change to that group before installing modules. -- package Outer::Space; use Test::More tests => 9;
