umask was fine 0022...

As it happens, i re-made XML::Xerces, but instead of using $XERCESROOT = /root/xercescdir, i installed xercesc into the system and used $XERCES_LIB and $XERCES_INCLUDE. The old XML::Xerces had been configured to look for the lib and includes in the root directory. THe use of the system installed files made XML::Xerces available system-wide.

The XML::Xerces README doesnt mention this, it only says you can use either of the two options, should they have mentioned something about not unpacking and installing within the root home directory? Maybe it was my bad.

Cheers

Sam
