[Module::Build] Module::Build V 0.28: Permission denied at d:/Perl/site/lib/Module/Build/Platform/Windows.pm line 147

[Ron S. <ro...@sa...>]

Hi Folks

Since upgrading from V 0.2611 processing of a bin/ directory has changed.

I create a distribution directory for one of my own modules, and in that dir
wish to create a distro, with: (%1 = UnitEval-Reporter, %2 = 1.09)

cd \perl-modules\%1-%2
rd /q /s x86
md x86
perl Build.PL
perl Build
etc

The current directory contains the bin/ dir which contains 12 *.bat files.

Log extract (sorry about the wrap. I've separated the lines):
-----><8-----
D:\perl-modules\UnitEval-Reporter-1.09>perl Build

Here's what I think is happening: The 12 *.bat files I copy into the
distribution dir do not have the read-only bit set, but after Module::Build
copies them to blib\script\ it sets the read-only bit, and then tries to create
a Perl wrapper around the contents of each file, and dies trying to do an in
situ update of the read-only file.
