I agree to this (first) solution; this will give us a good idea about the scope of the problem. I do know that in the past we've done fixes to Archive::Tar and CPANPLUS because of permission issues, especially cross platform ones, so it's not a trivial thing we can change across the toolchain and expect minimal impact. Let's see what the PAUSE indexer is catching and take it from there. Cheers, -- Jos Boumans How do I prove I am not crazy to people who are?
