in thread cpan build environment

User is root so uid/gid = 0:0. Thanks for the links. I assume then that ALL the tar files from CPAN are 1000:1000?

    Thanks for the links. I assume then that ALL the tar files from CPAN are 1000:1000?

    Um, why assume that?

    From what I can tell, CPAN ignores completely uid/gid from tarballs, which means the files end up with the current users uid/gid
