I'm really sorry for the git noise regarding this package. Apparently
it's made read-only during the install phase, so the 'set-permissions'
phase has no effect.

I have a commit that fixes it, but upon further investigation this seems
to be the case for most/all perl packages. Only one other perl package
has a custom phase to fix it currently. Perhaps we should change
'perl-build-system' to make all .so files writable as well?

Alternatively, do it in 'gnu-build-system', as there are non-perl
packages with custom phases to make '.so' files writable as well. 

Perhaps simply run a 'chmod 755' in the 'strip' phase? WDYT?
