Thank you for your reply

I'm not sure that it is a permissions issue. I'll be delighted if I am wrong though!

I installed it using the Makefile rule make install_site having run perl Makefile.PL. I did adjust the output directories to exist in a known place in an SVN repository off my home directory - this was deliberate as the people working on this do not all have root access on their respective machines. The location is correctly given to perl in the -I argument. Removing the -I prevents the code from running at all, where as including it satisfies the interpreter, until the function is called.

The permissions on the .so are 555. and the .ix and .bs are 444. I'm not sure what the purpose of the .ix and .bs are though.

Everything else is a mix of 444 and 644 for the files; all of the directories are 755. Everything is owned by me:me all the way up and down the directory tree (until I get to /home).

Thank you again for your time
