Package: perl Version: 5.001-6 (a.out) While running `top' to see how the Perl postinst was getting on I saw:
root 8507 11.4 0.8 105 160 v02 S 01:57 0:03 find /usr/lib/perl5/i486-linux -type f -exec chmod 644 {} ; Two questions come to mind: 1. Can't you arrange to create them with the right permissions to start with ? 2. Why not use xargs ? That would be _much_ faster. Use find -print0 combined with xargs -0 if it is important that files with newlines in their names are treated correctly. Ian.
