Could you please be more specific, jonathan? What 'all files' are you 
talking about?

mod_perl (in fact Apache-Test) only changes the ownership of files under t 
when you run the test suite as root (so Apache can access those files). 
But none of these is installed during 'make install'.

ExtUtils::MakeMaker installs the files first in blib/ and then at the 
final destination, but it does so as the 'user' you've run 'perl 
Makefile.PL' with. And it always uses 600, this is the same for any perl 
module you download from CPAN. Of course if you run the build as the 
Apache user/group you will get that user as the owner of those files.

So I'm not what other files you are talking about.
