Hi Hauke,

Sorry about the delay in responding, lost this response. I need to respond linearly to the comments.

The response to umask command is 0002 which gives file permissions 0664. I should have looked at the permissions before responding instead of relying on my memory.:)

There is a section that appears similar to your possible fix:

# Custom file save routine to handle unicode files
sub SaveUTF {
    my ( $w, $filename ) = @_;
    $filename = $w->FileName unless defined $filename;
    my $dir   = dirname($filename);
    my $perms = ( stat($dir) )[2] & 07777;
    unless ( $perms & 0200 ) {
        $perms = $perms | 0200;
        chmod $perms, $dir
          or $w->BackTrace("Can not write to directory $dir: $!\n")
          and return;
    }
