Package: perl
Version: 5.20.2-3+deb8u6
Severity: normal
Dear perl maintainers,
The following sequence gives:
% sudo chmod o-x /usr/local/lib
% perl -e "print join(' ',@INC);"
/etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20.2
/usr/local/share/perl/5.20.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.20
/usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20
/usr/share/perl/5.20 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .
% perl -e 'use strict;'
Can't locate strict.pm:
/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20.2/strict.pm: Permission denied
at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
I think it would be more useful to skip
/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20.2/
and proceed with the next directory, rather than fail.
See bug #855617 for reference.
Cheers,
