I've gotten the ""-withoutworldwriteables" appended to some of my modules upon PAUSE upload. I develop on Windows and it doesn't understand rw-r--r-- versus rw-rw-rw-. PAUSE does not like rw-rw-rw- and will 'attempt' to redo your TAR-GZ upload to a rw-r--r-- (without world writeables) TAR-GZ.

You can make sure you develop on *nix or some flavor that understands rw-r--r-- before you package (TAR-GZ) your module. Alternatively, I upload my modules as "my-module-0.01-w.tar.gz". I wait for PAUSE to send me the error email saying it redid my package to "my-module-0.01-w-withoutworldwriteables.tar.gz" and that it's available for a short time at the provided link. I download the module back to my local PC, rename to "my-module-0.01.tar.gz" and re-upload back to PAUSE.

Quite a convoluted process, and some cleanup is needed (remove the "my-module-0.01-w.tar.gz" and "my-module-0.01-w-withoutworldwriteables.tar.gz" from PAUSE). But it does give me nicely named modules on CPAN.

I did find a Perl script that was supposed to go into the tarball and fix the issue on Windows platforms, but I couldn't get it to work for me. Maybe you'll have better luck with it: Fix CPAN uploads for world writable files
