We aren't talking about modifying "your > stuff" we are talking about twiddling some bits in a tar file. I can only think of several ways that could possibly go wrong. I understand why PAUSE enforces the policy that it won't index anything it can't index, but I don't understand what permission bits that may or may not be set have to do with indexing. I realize the longstanding Perl cultural view of encapsulation is, to put it mildly, highly voluntary -- but the first time I catch a naked, drunk neighbor rifling through my closet is the last time any naked, drunk neighbor rifles through my closet, regardless of sincerity of intent. -- cThread Previous | Thread Next
