Re^4: "Installed" Perl 5.34 , sort of

TYVM sir your comparison is helpful. I'm investigating whats in /etc/profile.d I suspect there are some paths in there messing things up.

As far as the //, likely there is an ENV path somewhere ending in /, and the make somewhere , blindly added /more_dirs, I suspect.

I rebuilt everything today as root (for make install) with no errors, I got the OK at each step. Then I use CPAN to add some modules, but oddly, now I'm having to go in and chmod a bunch of the pm's because the privs are wrong- like dozens, maybe hundreds:

[root@newnode Socket]# ls -l
total 20
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 12778 Nov  2  2021 INET.pm
-r--r--r-- 1 root root  3971 Nov  2  2021 UNIX.pm
[root@newnode Socket]# chmod 755 *pm
[download]

I've been building perl since like 1995 and NEVER had these issues. I just performed the cpan instructions of configure, make, make test and make install, nothing special, on a Rocky Linux box. I guess maybe the Rocky part is somehow messing things up?

Those are the correct permissions. Here's some random modules' permissions from my installation (`strict` [core]; `Benchmark` [core]; DBI [CPAN]): $ ls -l /home/ken/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.34.0/lib/5.34.0/strict.p +m /home/ken/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.34.0/lib/5.34.0/Benchmark.pm +/home/ken/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.34.0/lib/site_perl/5.34.0/cygwi +n-thread-multi/DBI.pm -r--r--r-- 1 ken None 31026 May 22 2021 /home/ken/perl5/perlbrew/per +ls/perl-5.34.0/lib/5.34.0/Benchmark.pm -r--r--r-- 1 ken None 4783 May 22 2021 /home/ken/perl5/perlbrew/per +ls/perl-5.34.0/lib/5.34.0/strict.pm -r--r--r-- 1 ken None 318199 Feb 1 2020 /home/ken/perl5/perlbrew/per +ls/perl-5.34.0/lib/site_perl/5.34.0/cygwin-thread-multi/DBI.pm [download] I've never used Rocky Linux.

Why do you think 0444 are wrong permissions for installed modules? It seems fine to me. 🦛	[reply]
