Dear MB users,

How can I force a file to be executable?
It is a binary that is shipped in the distribution (yes, I know about
portability. not relevant atm), that is marked as executable. In a
MyBuild.pm process_*_files function I copy these files to the
blib/scripts folder.

With build install these files get installed in the correct place...

...but they lose the execution bit.

Any hint?
Thank you
ambs
