I've installed perl, v5.8.0 built for cygwin-multi-64int When I request a module documentation, say by $ perldoc File::Find perldoc complains Ignored /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/File/Find.pm: unreadable Although the file seems to have correct permission rights $ ls -l /usr/lib/perl5/5.

Permissions get lost when moving files between drives.

I have in my .zshrc: alias "ls=ls --color=auto" export LS_COLORS="di=1;4;33:*rc=7:*.rb=32:*.irbrc=32:*.sh=36:*.zsh=36:*.bak=2:*~=2:*.log=34;*.txt=34:ex=1" Now compare these two commands and their output: $ ls -l C:/cygwin64/home/fisrona/gitwrk/vp5/manualtest/logs/manualtest_222.log
