From @reuven

Created by reuven@henrietta-szold.lerner.co.il

I just installed Perl 5.8.0 RC3. I saw the same behavior in RC1 and
RC2, but didn't report it because I figured that someone else would
notice. No such luck!

I'm on a Red Hat 7.2 Linux system with all of the standard updates.

In short, the Configure script comes with 0555 permissions -- that is,
everyone can read and execute it, but nothing else.

By contrast, configure.gnu comes with 0444 permissions. You can thus
execute it with

  sh configure.gnu

or by changing its permissions to be executable. But given that the
INSTALL file instructs people to simply type

  ./configure.gnu

then either the documentation or the permissions need to be fixed.

From @jhi

In Perl 5.8.0 final configure.gnu has executable permissions (and the script Porting/makerel which prepares distributions has been modified to always add the +x). I'm marking the problem ticket as resolved.
