You're correct, I thought it was 664. You can pass PERM_RW=664 in to
Makefile.PL. Your CPAN shell can be configured to do this for you.
On a larger scale, the application of chmod in MakeMaker is pretty slapdash.
Its possible it can just assume that the user has their umask set to something
safe and leave it at that.
