If the *.h files in the original include directories are the correct permissions, then the *.ph files will be correct also.

Ian Jackson spoke unto the world and said:
Package: perl
Version: 5.001-6 (a.out)
I've taken over the package and upgraded to version 5.002-1. This is my
very first debian package, so I only put it in private/project/Incoming
and asked people to comment on it on debian-devel. I wanted to make
sure that I did it correctly before making it available for public
consumption.
While running `top' to see how the Perl postinst was getting on I saw:
root 8507 11.4 0.8 105 160 v02 S01:57 0:03 find
/usr/lib/perl5/i486-linux -type f -exec chmod 644 {} ;
This is still in 5.002-1. I just took most parts of it and changed what
I needed to make ver 5.002-1. This line is still in there. I am
checking right now to see if it is necessary. I'm using the installperl
script to install it now since it gets rather complex to install these
days.
1. Can't you arrange to create them with the right permissions to
start with ?
Maybe, probably, yes.
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.
I'll do this if I need to but I doubt it will be necessary.
