I agree 0555 makes sense. However in that case 'make install' needs to be
smart enough to overwrite/skip the file (for the 2nd install and thereafter
of Prima). 'make install' would stop and not continue until I manually set
the permissions on those files listed in my original post. Unfortunately I
can't offer any suggestions - although I believe some perl modules support
'perl Makefile.PL UNINST=1' which might be what I am after? Again I apologize,
I'm not sure.

Again, 'make install' refused to continue unless I did this. (for the 2nd
install of Prima and thereafter)
The reason I was doing multiple 'make installs' is because I am testing
a script which re-installs all currently installed Perl modules because
I am moving a production box to a new version of Perl.
Thanks Dmitry.
