Hi,

I have been trying for several days now to upload my first distribution on CPAN. I need some help dealing with the "The distribution contains the following world writable directories or files and is therefore considered a security breach and as such not being indexed" error message is from CPAN. I saw this issue has been discussed here before (http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=714227), but I still cannot understand what I need to do to get "Build dist" to create a proper distribution.

I am using:
WinXP SP3
ActivePerl 5.10.0
Module::Build 0.30
Archive::Tar 1.42

When I upload my distro to CPAN I get an error that all my directories are world-writable.

Using Cygwin is not an option, and strawberry is currently not an option either.

Thanks

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
