I don't have any direct experience with this, but I think the error message says it all. The computer where you used Strawberry Perl might not have been MS-Windows? (Or maybe it was Windows, but the setup with Strawberry knows how to set unix-style file permissions in the "normal" way).

Anyway, your use of ActiveState tools seems to have created an upload package in which the unix-style permissions on directories and files allow "group" and "other" users to alter/add/replace file and directory contents. I've seen this sort of result whenever people upload stuff from a windows system to a unix/linux server, and I'm guessing that's the problem.

Check the manual for whatever tool you use to create the uploaded package file (tar? zip?); there should be an option to control the unix-style file permissions (even though you are working from a Windows box). Make sure the permissions come out looking like "rwxr-xr-x" for directories and executable files, and "rw-r--r--" for other files.

(If you are using "tar", run "tar tvf your_file.tar" to see how the permissions look.)
