Problem building some Perl libs ( .packlist readonly )

[Daniel Kasak]

Hi all.

I'm having an issue with a handful of Perl libraries. Builds are failing
because .packlist is readonly:

---

perl Makefile.PL
Generating a Unix-style Makefile
Writing Makefile for XML::SAX::Base
Writing MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json
cp BuildSAXBase.pl blib/lib/XML/SAX/BuildSAXBase.pl
cp lib/XML/SAX/Exception.pm blib/lib/XML/SAX/Exception.pm
cp lib/XML/SAX/Base.pm blib/lib/XML/SAX/Base.pm
Manifying 3 pod documents
Can't open file
/app/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.28.1/x86_64-linux/auto/XML/SAX/Base/.packlist:
Read-only file system at /app/lib/perl5/5.28.1/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 858.
make: *** [Makefile:725: pure_site_install] Error 30
Error: module perl-XML-SAX-Base: Child process exited with code 2

---

I usually fix readonly issues ( typically with Perl libs compiled to a .so
file ) with a "post-install" section, like:

---

{
   "cleanup" : [
      "/bin"
   ],
   "sources" : [
      {
         "sha256" :
"66cb355ba4ef47c10ca738bd35999723644386ac853abbeb5132841f5e8a2ad0",
         "url" : "
https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/G/GR/GRANTM/XML-SAX-Base-1.09.tar.gz",
         "type" : "archive"
      },
      {
         "path" : "perl-MakefilePL-Makefile",
         "dest-filename" : "Makefile",
         "type" : "file"
      }
   ],
   "name" : "perl-XML-SAX-Base",
   "no-autogen" : true,
   "post-install": [
       "chmod 755
/app/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.28.1/x86_64-linux/auto/XML/SAX/Base/.packlist"
   ]
}

---

But in these cases ( all with the .packlist file ) - this doesn't work.
Different kind of problem I guess. How can I make it work?

Thanks :)
