According to the man page for chmod(1), yes, but on Win32 doesn't a world-writable file mean it's world-replaceable too? In any case, I was also trying to point out that if the top-level directory is expanded as world-writable, then any file therein (e.g. Build.PL) is world-replaceable. So that's just another thing to check for. -Ken
