No need for excuses :) as you saw in my followup it wasn't a umask issue. (Though 'perldoc -f umask' has a good explanation of umask.)My ignorance is showing (20 yrs+ with M$ systems, only 1 1/2 yrs with Linux) but I did notice that mod_perl untared to beau:mysql? Where did that come from? umask? man umask only gives me (2) - programmers reference. Is there some setup parameter I should set? I've read my SuSE admin guide and can't find anything revelent. Please point me somewhere... :)
Been there, done that. But now I work under my own user and rarely need to run 'su'. But that discussion belongs to a different list...Of course, I'm doing everthing logged in as root (it's my network after all, and if you can't be King of your own network...) I've never seen tar carry owner:group + perms thru an untar...they usually come out the other end root:root.
We are probably going to change Apache::Test to not let you run the test suite as root (the real problem is that Apache 2.0 will refuse to start if httpd.conf file says: "User root"), instead of trying to guess your 'other' username. As you can see this help causes more troubles than it helps.
It's some of your magic, isn't it Stas?
If it has anything to do with magic always remember to s/Stas/Doug/gi
