Hi, Sorry about that Shawn. I should have hit Reply All. Here goes the listing for this specific example from the OP. (The one I sent you was a similar listing for another manually installed module). The permissions show as 640 for all the *.t files that the test script reports as "not readable". Also, as per reply to Shlomi, I ran umask in the directory, and it returned 22. 'more' also works as expected, and displays contents of the file. $ ls -al total 464 drwxr-s--x 2 shankar shankar 2048 2009-11-26 04:25 . drwxr-s--x 16 shankar shankar 2048 2009-12-29 12:49 .. -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 5316 2009-09-07 10:57 Aliases.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 3087 2009-11-16 11:44 CJKT.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 4702 2009-09-07 10:57 Encode.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 1004 2009-11-26 04:24 Encoder.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 416 2009-11-26 04:24 Mod_EUCJP.pm -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 4762 2009-11-26 04:24 Unicode.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 4086 2009-09-07 10:57 at-cn.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 2606 2009-09-07 10:57 at-tw.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 32104 2009-09-07 10:57 big5-eten.enc -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 45868 2009-09-07 10:57 big5-eten.utf -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 42530 2009-09-07 10:57 big5-hkscs.enc -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 60690 2009-09-07 10:57 big5-hkscs.utf -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 994 2009-11-26 04:24 enc_data.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 2101 2009-11-26 04:24 enc_eucjp.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 24 2009-09-07 10:57 enc_module.enc -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 1746 2009-11-26 04:24 enc_module.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 1919 2009-11-26 04:24 enc_utf8.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 5235 2009-09-07 10:57 encoding.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 5197 2009-11-26 03:52 fallback.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 357 2009-11-26 04:24 from_to.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 17367 2009-09-07 10:57 gb2312.enc -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 24663 2009-09-07 10:57 gb2312.utf -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 820 2009-09-07 10:57 grow.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 3461 2009-09-07 10:57 gsm0338.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 3461 2009-11-16 11:44 guess.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 337 2009-09-07 10:57 jis7-fallback.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 145 2009-09-07 10:57 jisx0201.enc -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 208 2009-09-07 10:57 jisx0201.utf -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 16145 2009-09-07 10:57 jisx0208.enc -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 22899 2009-09-07 10:57 jisx0208.utf -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 20332 2009-09-07 10:57 jisx0212.enc -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 20069 2009-09-07 10:57 jisx0212.utf -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 2670 2009-11-26 04:24 jperl.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 19173 2009-09-07 10:57 ksc5601.enc -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 27228 2009-09-07 10:57 ksc5601.utf -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 4585 2009-11-26 04:24 mime-header.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 836 2009-11-26 04:24 mime-name.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 1043 2009-09-07 10:57 mime_header_iso2022jp.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 4944 2009-11-16 11:44 perlio.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 2623 2009-11-26 04:24 piconv.t -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 1733 2009-11-26 04:24 rt.pl -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 1858 2009-09-07 10:57 unibench.pl -rw-r----- 1 shankar shankar 2530 2009-09-07 10:57 utf8strict.t -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
